Monitoring the Ocean’s Green Pulse: A New Global Dataset for Phytoplankton Phenology

Monitoring the Ocean’s Green Pulse: A New Global Dataset for Phytoplankton Phenology

Phytoplankton are tiny, single-celled organisms mainly found in the ocean’s sunlit surface, where they grow through photosynthesis, forming the marine food web’s base and regulating Earth’s climate by absorbing carbon dioxide. Their seasonal growth cycles—known as “blooms”—drive marine productivity and influence everything from carbon uptake to food security. But how can we track ...[Read More]

The rabbit and the tortoise – what does a glacial cycle need to be a glacial cycle?

The climate is not what it used to be and it will never be the same again. This is what the models say. Where does this knowledge come from? In short, we learn it from the clues that nature left on the planet since its formation. And it is precisely with these observations where our story begins. Since the beginnings of mountaineering, many visitors of the Alps and other mountain ranges have wonde ...[Read More]
