A Bloom in a Changing Barents Sea
https://earthobservatory.nasa.gov/images/151667/a-bloom-in-a-changing-barents-sea #protists #algae"The #BarentsSea usually has 2 major bloom seasons, with #diatoms peaking in May, June, then giving way to #coccolithophores by August. As the #climate changes, #scientists are using #satellites to track how #phytoplankton populations are responding. They observed large shifts in the location of summer #coccolithophore blooms to the northeast & an increasing presence of #Phaeocystis normally found in warmer waters"

New #research: Can we trace development stages and ecology of a #permafrost thaw lake throughout the Holocene? Using an innovative combination of sedimentary proxies (ancient #DNA, #diatoms, #XRF), @Iza_bai et al. show: Yes, we can!
Long-term evolution of Central #Yakutia's vital #alaas #thermokarst lakes is traced throughout past millennia. This may help understand future pathways of culturally important lake systems!
