When marine organisms die and sink, billions of tons of organic and inorganic carbon are carried downward each year. The ...

Bacteria hitchhiking on marine snow can dissolve its calcium carbonate ballast, slowing the particles’ descent.

Abstract: The global cryosphere – the frozen water domain – is experiencing unprecedented change. To match this rapid pace, innovative technological approaches and interdisciplinary engineering ...

In some parts of the deep ocean, it can look like it's snowing. This "marine snow" is the dust and detritus that organisms slough off as they die and decompose. Marine snow can fall several kilometers ...

Snowflake size affects how much snow stays on roofs, helping explain why some storms create heavier and more dangerous snow ...

No two snowflakes may be the same, but models that fail to take these variations into consideration often fall short when ...

In Physics of Fluids, researchers model the way snow gathers on a roof based on snowflake size and distribution. The model ...
