Phytoplankton, which dominate the oceans, are vital for the planet's health and human survival. As climate change disrupts these organisms, the entire marine food chain is at risk. NASA's PACE satellite, launched to provide detailed observations of phytoplankton diversity and distribution, allows scientists to gain clearer insights into oceanic changes. This advancement surpasses previous research methods that offered limited snapshots, akin to viewing a garden through a green filter. The PACE satellite enables researchers to comprehensively observe and understand the vital role of phytoplankton in marine ecosystems.
Humans are living in a plankton world; these organisms are abundant in the oceans and critical to the marine food chain, now threatened by warming.
NASA's PACE satellite offers unprecedented insights into phytoplankton diversity and distribution, helping scientists understand the changing dynamics of ocean life.
