Scientists study how climate is changing CO2 in the sea

Correio da Manhã7 September 2026 at 01:30

Scientists are studying how climate change is modifying CO2 levels in the oceans. This is a scientific mission that seeks to understand how global warming affects the planet and its marine ecosystems.

Catarina Guerreiro is the only Portuguese participating in this scientific expedition. The researcher spoke about the experience to the newspaper Correio da Manhã, sharing details about the work carried out on board.

The main objective of the mission is to understand how the warming of ocean waters influences carbon dioxide levels, a gas with a direct impact on climate change and marine life.

IPMA Promotes the MOPPA Project: Monitoring Bivalve Banks Along the Portuguese Coast

The Portuguese Institute for the Sea and Atmosphere (IPMA) promotes the MOPPA project, for monitoring bivalve banks along the Portuguese coast, ongoing since 1986. The program covers three main fishing zones, with approximately 800 sampled stations and about 1600 samples collected, allowing the observation of significant changes in bivalve populations and the identification of fundamental trends for species conservation. The collected data supports the Fisheries Administration in defining guidelines that balance resource exploitation with fishery sustainability, as well as serving as a resource for assessing the health of marine ecosystems and species response to environmental pressures.

Breast milk benefit discovered against antibiotic resistance

An investigation led by the Spanish Higher Council for Scientific Research (CSIC) discovered that certain components of breast milk are associated with a lower presence of antibiotic resistance genes in babies' intestines. The study identified that these bioactive components of breast milk help modulate the infant gut microbiome, reducing the accumulation of resistance genes that can be transferred to pathogenic bacteria and pose a risk to newborns' health.

Ozempic may "slow" aging? New study finds signs that are surprising scientists

A study published in the journal Nature Communications discovered that semaglutide, the active ingredient in Ozempic and Wegovy, may have surprising effects on slowing biological aging. Researchers found promising signs that the medication, originally developed for the treatment of diabetes and obesity, could favorably influence processes associated with cellular aging, a discovery that is surprising the scientific community and opening new lines of research on the benefits of these drugs beyond weight loss.
