This might come as a shocker: I don’t care about metabolism (or bits of floating plastic, or whale sharks, or coral reefs…sorry Deeplings). Its not that I’m not interested – these fields are fascinating and scientifically important. But on a day-to-day basis, when I’m overloaded with data analysis, grant proposals, and a bursting inbox, I . . . → Read More: Capitalizing on recessions with economic booms of data

Abnormally warm water since June appears to have dealt a blow to shallow and deep-sea corals that is likely to . . . → Read More: Caribbean Coral Die-Off Could Be Worst Ever

The paleoceanography of the deep-sea is an account of intense fluctuations in temperature, oxygen, and circulation. In the past . . . → Read More: The Origins of Deep-Sea Fauna

A reaction between two molecules can only occur if those two molecules collide with sufficient energy (collision theory). Heating causes molecules to gain energy, increasing their velocity (kinetic theory). A higher velocity increases the probability of two molecules . . . → Read More: ARCHIVE: 25 Things You Should Know About the Deep Sea: #13 Extreme Temperatures Affect Biological Rates
