As oceans warm, microbes could pump more carbon dioxide back into air, study warns

A new study suggests that carbon dioxide regeneration may become faster in many regions of the world as the oceans warm with changing climate. This, in turn, may reduce the deep oceans' ability to keep carbon locked up. The study shows that in many cases, bacteria are consuming more plankton at shallower depths than previously believed, and that the conditions under which they do this will spread as water temperatures rise. from All Top News -- ScienceDaily https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2019/04/190429154518.htm

Milky Way star with strange chemistry is from dwarf galaxy

Astronomers have discovered a star in the Milky Way Galaxy with a chemical composition unlike any other star in our Galaxy. This chemical composition has been seen in a small number of stars in dwarf galaxies orbiting the Milky Way. This suggests that the star was part of a dwarf galaxy that merged into the Milky Way. from All Top News -- ScienceDaily https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2019/04/190430121739.htm
