Microscopic chronicles beneath the waves

This book offers a voyage into the vibrant micro-realm of the ocean-where diatoms bloom, salps filter vast waters, and larvae of fish discover the precarious balance between life and loss. Written in a series of, first-person narratives, each chapter gives a voice to a different oceanic being or phenomenon, from the tiniest virus or a drifting CO2 molecule to schooling fish larvae and ephemeral patches of organic matter. These intimate perspectives reveal how physics, chemistry, and biology interlace beneath the waves, forging hidden worlds that underpin our planet's well-being. Through lyrical prose grounded in scientific insight, you will see how plankton and their physicochemical surroundings shape ecosystems and climate, threading scales from microscopic collisions to basin-wide currents. Microscopic chronicles beneath the waves invites you to immerse yourself in the ocean's swirling tapestry-an ode to the subtle, essential forces that connect all life on Earth.
