Reef-forming coralline algae is currently at risk due to climate change, and scientists are doing something about it. They're creating synthetic reefs in the Mediterranean Sea, made from ...

A 1,200-year-old sample of coralline algae that Adey and his team collected off the coast of Labrador in 2013 is one of hundreds of rarely displayed museum specimens on view in the exhibition ...

Now, by studying a 646-year-old coralline algae specimen off Kingitok Island in Labrador, researchers have been able to get unprecedented detail about variations in sea ice over the past few ...

The Great Barrier Reef, and most other large reefs around the world, owe their bulk in large part to a type of red algae that grows on corals and strengthens them. New research led by Anna Weiss ...

Coralline algae, a group of calcified red algae, play a critical role in marine ecosystems by contributing to reef stability and acting as ecosystem engineers. Taxonomically, these algae are ...

Discover how an algae-based gel enhances coral restoration by attracting larvae to damaged reefs, increasing settlement rates by up to 20 times.

If people could mimic the algae, they might be able to use it to help rehabilitate reefs by increasing the number of larvae that settle. But copying what the algae naturally does is no simple task.

Dark algae that grow on the surface of Arctic ice sheets are likely to expand their range in the future, a trend that will ...

Project overview. The red calcified coralline algae are intriguing organisms. Ubiquitous in the world’s seas from the poles to the tropics, they are morphologically highly diverse, slow growing, one ...

Dark algae that grow on the surface of Arctic ice sheets are likely to expand their range in the future, a trend that will exacerbate melt, sea level rise and warming.
