Global mean sea-level (GMSL) change can shed light on how the Earth system responds to warming. Glaciological evidence indicates that Earth's ice sheets retreated inland of early industrial (1850 CE) extents during the Holocene (11.7-0 ka), yet previous work suggests that Holocene GMSL never surpassed early industrial levels.

Article Synopsis
  • The late Paleocene and early Eocene periods were marked by long-term global warming and short, abrupt warming events called hyperthermals, largely influenced by greenhouse gases but possibly affected by other factors like tectonics.
  • Researchers analyzed data from planktic foraminifera to reconstruct sea surface temperatures and CO levels, focusing on key events such as the Paleocene-Eocene Thermal Maximum (PETM) and Eocene Thermal Maximum 2 (ETM-2).
  • Findings indicate a strong connection between CO and temperature, with different carbon sources contributing to the CO increases during these periods, and the emissions from these events are comparable to future projections, highlighting their relevance to current climate change discussions.

The Yangtze River Estuary (YRE) is one of the areas in China most severely affected by harmful algal blooms (HABs). This study explored the distributive patterns of HABs in the YRE and how they are influenced by the El Niño-Southern Oscillation (ENSO) and other environmental factors. Quantitative real-time PCR (qPCR) was employed to detect and quantify the four predominant HAB species in the YRE, Karenia mikimotoi, Margalefidinium polykrikoides, Prorocentrum donghaiense, and Heterosigma akashiwo.

Background: Heat stress (HS) poses significant threats to the sustainability of livestock production. Genetically improving heat tolerance could enhance animal welfare and minimize production losses during HS events. Measuring phenotypic indicators of HS response and understanding their genetic background are crucial steps to optimize breeding schemes for improved climatic resilience.

The Santa Barbara Basin is an extraordinary archive of environmental and ecological change, where varved sediments preserve microfossils that provide an annual to decadal record of the dynamics of surrounding ecosystems. Of the microfossils preserved in these sediments, benthic foraminifera are the most abundant seafloor-dwelling organisms. While they have been extensively utilized for geochemical and paleoceanographic work, studies of their morphology are lacking.
