BiogeosciencesThe chemical memory of seawater Water does not forget, says Proffesor Boris Koch, a chemist at the Alfred Wegener Institute for Polar and Marine Research in the Helmholtz Association. Irrespective of what happens in the sea: whether the sun shines, algae bloom or a school of dolphins swims through a marine area -- everything and everyone leaves biomolecular tracks. With the help of a combination of new techniques, Boris Koch and colleagues can now identify and retrace some of these. Contact: Dr. Folke Mehrtens

Proceedings of the National Academy of SciencesThe Great Barrier Reef has lost half of its coral in the last 27 years The Great Barrier Reef has lost half its coral cover in the last 27 years. The loss was due to storm damage (48 percent), crown of thorns starfish (42 percent), and bleaching (10 percent) according to a new study published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences today by researchers from the Australian Institute of Marine Science in Townsville. "We can't stop the storms but, perhaps we can stop the starfish."
