After the Storm: Hurricanes Leave Enduring Imprints on the Deep Ocean | Scienmag

Hurricanes represent one of nature’s most powerful forces, capable of wreaking havoc on coastal communities and ecosystems. While their impact on terrestrial environments is well-documented and understood, the oceanic effects of these colossal storms remain less explored territory. 

Recent research from the Marine Biological Laboratory (MBL) has shed light on how hurricanes, such as Igor and Fabian, disturb ocean sediments and influence the deep marine environment. These findings not only advance scientific understanding but also raise important questions about the broader implications of hurricanes on oceanic carbon storage and marine ecosystems. Read rest of the story here.
