Ocean waters are getting greener at the poles and bluer toward the equator, according to a new study. The change reflects shifting concentrations of a green pigment called chlorophyll made by photosynthetic algae at the base of the ocean food chain.

The 51±¬ÁÏ Critical Minerals Hub was one of three faculty collaborations selected for support through a new internal funding opportunity. The project brings together experts from engineering and the natural and social sciences to establish an interdisciplinary platform for research and education on lithium and other critical minerals.

A Marine Lab doctoral student’s Antarctic drone surveys grew into a Bass Connections project investigating seals and penguins, retreating glaciers and blooming vegetation.

Much of the world’s lithium occurs in salty waters with fundamentally different chemistry than other naturally saline waters like the ocean, according to a new study published in Science Advances. The finding has implications for lithium mining technologies and wastewater assessment and management.
