Plymouth Leads 'healthy Oceans' Research
Plymouth researchers will be presenting new research findings at an international conference they are hosting in the city next month. Professor Paul Worsfold, Co-director of Plymouth Environmental Research Centre (PERC), heads the Plymouth team working on a three-year research project which investigates the role of iron in ocean productivity and... view more...

New tool for weather forecasters
A new processing system now operational in ESA ground stations will help weather forecasters to benefit once more from unique all-weather data from the ERS-2 scatterometer. Although the highly successful ERS global mission is formally over, the spacecraft has been continuing to provide coverage over the north Atlantic. Weather experts are keen... view more...

Expedition discovers new sea current off African coast
Researchers on board the Pelagia, the research vessel belonging to the Netherlands Institute for Sea Research (NIOZ), have discovered an interesting rotational current in the sea off the coast of South Africa. Unlike previously identified 'Agulhas rings', this one, a cyclone, rotates clockwise. The water in the centre is also about 50 centimetres... view more... (2001-07-26)
Atlantic snails are increasing dramatically in size, Queen's researcher discovers
A Queen's University biologist has discovered that the shell lengths of northwest Atlantic Ocean snails - an important member of the Atlantic food chain - have increased by 22.6 per cent over the past century. Until now, this significant change in the marine ecosystem has gone unnoticed. view more (2009-03-25)
Saving endangered whales at no cost
By comparing the productivity of lobster fishing operations in American and Canadian waters of the Gulf of Maine, researchers have identified ways in which cost-saving alterations in fishing strategies can substantially reduce fishing-gear entanglements of the critically endangered North Atlantic right whale. view more (2007-01-09)
Long-standing neutrino question resolved
An announcement by scientists at the Department of Energy's Fermilab today significantly clarifies the overall picture of how neutrinos behave. view more (2007-04-12)
Iron controls patterns of nitrogen fixation in the Atlantic
Scientists including researchers from the National Oceanography Centre, Southampton and the University of Essex have discovered that interactions between iron supply, transported through the atmosphere from deserts, and large-scale oceanic circulation control the availability of a crucial nutrient, nitrogen, in the Atlantic. view more (2009-11-03)
Oceans are 70% shark free
Marine scientists have discovered that the deepest oceans of the world would appear to be shark free. view more (2006-02-22)
Ecologists use oceanographic data to predict future climate change
Ecologists and oceanographers are attempting to predict the future impacts of climate change by reconstructing the past behavior of Arctic climate and ocean circulation. view more (2008-11-07)
Australia's climate: Drought and flooding in annual rings of tropical trees
Annual rings are acclaimed in representing natural climate archives. For the temperate latitudes it is known that the growth of these annual rings depend mainly on temperature and precipitation. view more (2009-06-12)
UBC scientist invokes future generations to save tuna populations from collapse
Balancing short- and long-term fisheries benefits could have prevented the collapse of the cod populations in Atlantic Canada, and is the last best chance for tuna, says University of British Columbia fisheries economist Rashid Sumaila. view more (2008-02-19)
Frequency of Atlantic hurricanes doubled over last century, climate change suspected
About twice as many Atlantic hurricanes form each year on average than a century ago, according to a new statistical analysis of hurricanes and tropical storms in the north Atlantic. view more (2007-07-30)
Scientists explore huge volume of molten rock now frozen into the crust under the ocean's floor
For the first time scientists have mapped the layers of once molten rock that lie beneath the edges of the Atlantic Ocean and measure over eight miles thick in some locations. view more (2008-03-28)
New Species of Snapper Discovered in Brazil
A popular game fish mistaken by scientists for a dog snapper is actually a new species discovered among the reefs of the Abrolhos region of the South Atlantic Ocean. view more (2007-03-14)
Anisakiasis hazard varies depending on the origin of the fish, according to a study
A research team of the University of Granada (Spain) has confirmed a higher presence of the parasite Anisakis spp in anchovies of the Atlantic South East coast and the Mediterranean North West coast, and they insist on freezing or cooking fish before consuming it. view more (2009-11-11)
Seismic Noise Unearths Lost Hurricanes
Seismologists have found a new way to piece together the history of hurricanes in the North Atlantic - by looking back through records of the planet's seismic noise. It's an entirely new way to tap into the rich trove of seismic records, and the strategy might help establish a link between global warming and the frequency or intensity of... view more...

Climate change will affect carbon sequestration in oceans, model shows
The direct injection of carbon dioxide deep into the ocean has been suggested as one method to help control rising carbon dioxide levels in the atmosphere and mitigate the effects of global warming. view more (2005-09-08)
Iron and biological production in the high-latitude North Atlantic
Southampton scientists have demonstrated an unexpected role of iron in regulating biological production in the high-latitude North Atlantic. Their findings have important implications for our understanding of ocean-climate interactions. view more (2009-07-08)
China monsoon rainfall prediction and Pacific surface-subsurface sea temperature anomalies
The Monsoon and Environment Research Group of Peking University submitted a report to Chinese Science Bulletin, recently, showed that regional summer monsoon rainfall in China can be predicted by 1-2 seasons ahead by using the signals of the sea surface temperature anomaly (SSTA) and the subsurface temperature anomaly (STA) in the central... view more...

Atmosphere and Oceans Finely Balanced
The atmosphere and oceans exist in a delicate state of balance according to research co-ordinated by the University of East Anglia (UEA) and published this month by the Natural Environment Research Council (NERC). view more (2002-01-24)
