Converging data would indicate the existence of possible relationships between climate
change, environmental pollution and epidemics/pandemics, such as the current one due to …

The deep sea (> 200 m depth) encompasses> 95% of the world's ocean volume and
represents the largest and least explored biome on Earth (< 0.0001% of ocean surface), yet …

Deep-sea ecosystems represent Earth's major ecological research frontier. Focusing on
seafloor ecosystems, we demonstrate how new technologies underpin discoveries that …

The deep sea encompasses the largest ecosystems on Earth. Although poorly known, deep
seafloor ecosystems provide services that are vitally important to the entire ocean and …

Human activities are releasing gigatonnes of carbon to the Earth's atmosphere annually.
Direct consequences of cumulative post-industrial emissions include increasing global …

The most recent ice age was characterized by rapid and hemispherically asynchronous
climate oscillations, whose origin remains unresolved. Variations in oceanic meridional heat …

Ongoing greenhouse gas emissions can modify climate processes and induce shifts in
ocean temperature, pH, oxygen concentration, and productivity, which in turn could alter …

Current interest and debate on pollen-assemblage richness as a proxy for past plant
richness have prompted us to review recent developments in assessing whether modern …

The field of paleoclimatology relies on physical, chemical, and biological proxies of past
climate changes that have been preserved in natural archives such as glacial ice, tree rings …

Temperature is considered to be a fundamental factor controlling biodiversity in marine
ecosystems, but precisely what role temperature plays in modulating diversity is still not …
