'All hands on deck' explains how the University of Liverpool’s Centre for Marine Sciences & Climate Change is helping to unravel the different signals of climate change, develop a clear understanding of their historic and current causes, and how they interrelate.
Why are vast areas of ocean are able to absorb carbon despite appearing to lack the nutrients needed to support the phytoplankton which convert carbon dioxide into organic matter? 'Solving an enigma'reveals how scientists from the Centre solved this enigma.
How have low low-lying coastal areas previously responded to a combination of rising sea levels, severe storms and human intervention? 'Cracking the combination' reveals how the present can yield valuable information on the past.
Why do we need to monitor nutrient concentrations in coastal waters and why are new protocols needed to ensure that our data are accurate? 'The devil is in the detail' describes how these protocols are being developed.
