Scientists have created a catalog of thousands of genes that viruses “stole” from marine microbes they infected, leading to a better understanding of where viruses fit into the global ocean picture of cycling carbon and other nutrients.

Identifying the genes that viruses ‘steal’ from ocean microbes
Study suggests viruses reprogram at least 1/3 of metabolic processes
Groundwater in the Arctic is Delivering More Carbon into the Ocean Than Was Previously Known. The groundwater is liberating an estimated 230 tons of organic carbon per day along the almost 2,000-kilometer coastline of the Beaufort Sea in summer.

A new study finds the "blue" 🌊 social cost of carbon nearly doubles the economic price of climate change. By adding ocean damages like fishery loss 🐟 and ecosystem collapse 🌐, the global cost of CO2 jumps from $51 to $97 per ton, revealing the massive, previously uncounted financial toll on our seas. 🌊💰
