    Kilauea volcano’s ash prompted largest open ocean phytoplankton bloom

    When the Kīlauea Volcano erupted in May 2018, an enormous amount of ash was released into the atmosphere in a plume nearly five miles high. A new study by an international team of researchers revealed that a rare and large summertime phytoplankton bloom in the North Pacific Subtropical Gyre in the summer of 2018 was prompted by ash from Kīlauea falling on the ocean surface approximately 1,200 miles west of the volcano. The research was published recently in JGR Oceans.

    In miniature test tubes in biologist Ryan Baugh’s lab at Duke, thousands of tiny wriggling worms — each one a fraction the size of an eyelash — munch on their dinner of bacteria broth.

    The worms’ soupy meal is laced with a hidden ingredient, invisible so-called “forever chemicals” found in America’s drinking water, our food and farmlands, even lurking in our bodies.

    It’s a chemical safety test, said Duke postdoctoral fellow Tess Leuthner. The worms are C. elegans, a garden- and…
