This predator-prey relationship shows that vertical upwelling zones are "much more dynamic ecosystems in terms of marine organisms than previously believed," Witman said.

Though there were subtropical ocean margins well-known for high phytoplankton production activity, Li’s group found that they couldn’t immediately attribute all these regions shown in the satellite ...

Upwelling, an intricate process that breathes life into the seas, holds the key to prolific marine productivity, sustaining vibrant ecosystems that support diverse marine life. Let’s embark on this ...

Warming is expected to increase such upwelling, but increasingly it’s bringing low-oxygen waters to the surface. In places such as central Oregon, that has helped create new dead zones.
