Freshwater ecosystems require adequate oxygen levels to sustain aerobic life and maintain healthy biological communities.

In a Comment piece in the journal Nature Climate Change, they note that such heat waves negatively impact ocean processes, ocean life in the overheated regions, and coastal communities.

For the first time, MIT scientists have successfully imaged how heat actually travels in a wave, known as a “second sound,” through this exotic fluid. Understanding this dynamic could help ...
