  • Research and Impacts
What do you picture when you think of the California coast? Perhaps it’s the redwood-covered bluffs that plummet down to crashing waves, or the forests of kelp swaying along with the current. But the one thing that might not have come to mind has a surprising presence at UC Davis’ Bodega Marine Laboratory (BML): corals.

Massive Burps of Carbon Dioxide Led to Oxygen-less Ocean Environments in the Deep Past

  • by Greg Watry
  • June 27, 2025
  • Research and Impacts
New research from the University of California, Davis, the Chinese Academy of Sciences and Texas A&M University reveals that massive emissions, or burps, of carbon dioxide from natural earth systems led to significant decreases in ocean oxygen concentrations some 300 million years ago.

Fish ‘Beauty Salons’ Offer Insight into How Microbes Move Within Reefs

  • by Kat Kerlin

  • Research and Impacts
Where do you go when you’re a fish and you need a skincare treatment? Coral reefs contain natural “beauty salons,” lively social hubs of activity where fish “clients” swim up and wait to be serviced by smaller fish cleaners.
