Global warming can trigger extreme ocean, climate changes
Newly published research results provide evidence that global climate change may have quickly disrupted ocean processes and lead to drastic shifts in environments around the world. view more (2006-01-05)
El Nino events affect whale breeding
A thirty-year study by an international team of scientists found a strong relationship between breeding success of whales in the South Atlantic and El Nino in the western Pacific. view more (2006-01-11)
Surf's up - and one coastal microbe has adapted
California beachgoers may look lazy. But just a few miles off shore, scientists have discovered that a common coastal strain of cyanobacteria works diligently to thrive in choppy, polluted waters. view more (2006-08-29)
Study provides first-ever look at combined causes of North Atlantic and Arctic Ocean freshening
A new analysis of 50 years of changes in freshwater inputs to the Arctic Ocean and North Atlantic may help shed light on what's behind the recently observed freshening of the North Atlantic Ocean. view more (2006-08-25)
Nitrous oxide from ocean microbes
A large amount of the greenhouse gas nitrous oxide is produced by bacteria in the oxygen poor parts of the ocean using nitrites, Dr Mark Trimmer told journalists at a Science Media Centre press briefing today. view more (2007-12-11)
Deft diving turtle tactics
How do turtles survive long trips across the ocean? At the Society for Experimental Biology conference on Friday 12 April Ms Corinne Martin (University of Wales Swansea) will present evidence of energy-saving diving patterns adopted by green turtles to survive long ocean trips. The turtles breed at Ascension Island, undertaking long-distance... view more... (2002-04-04)
Sea level rise due to global warming poses threat to New York City
Global warming is expected to cause the sea level along the northeastern U.S. coast to rise almost twice as fast as global sea levels during this century, putting New York City at greater risk for damage from hurricanes and winter storm surge, according to a new study led by a Florida State University researcher. view more (2009-03-16)
Joint NASA-French satellite to track trends in sea level, climate
A satellite that will help scientists better monitor and understand rises in global sea level, study the world's ocean circulation and its links to Earth's climate, and improve weather and climate forecasts is undergoing final preparations for a June 15 launch from California's Vandenberg Air Force Base. view more (2008-05-21)
Fossilized midges provide clues to future climate change
Fossilised midges have helped scientists at the University of Liverpool identify two episodes of abrupt climate change that suggest the UK climate is not as stable as previously thought. view more (2007-07-10)
Oxford Environment student gets top underwater award
An MSc student at the University of Oxford`s Environmental Change Institute is the youngest recipient of the world's most prestigious award for underwater exploration. Alasdair Harris, 23, is to receive the British Sub Aqua Club Medal from the Duke of Edinburgh in a ceremony on 15 November at Buckingham Palace. The award is in recognition of his... view more...

Ice core studies confirm accuracy of climate models
An analysis has been completed of the global carbon cycle and climate for a 70,000 year period in the most recent Ice Age, showing a remarkable correlation between carbon dioxide levels and surprisingly abrupt changes in climate. view more (2008-09-12)
Genomes reveal bacterial lifestyles: Research
Sampling just a few genes can reveal not only the "lifestyle" of marine microbes but of their entire environments, new research suggests. view more (2009-09-08)
Scientists discover new life forms in the Arctic Ocean
An international team of scientists including Université Laval biologist Connie Lovejoy has discovered new life forms in the Arctic Ocean. The team's findings are reported in the January 12 edition of the journal Science. view more (2007-01-12)
Scientists link volcanic eruptions that formed North Atlantic Ocean to ancient global warming
Scientists examining a spike in worldwide ocean temperatures 55 million years ago have linked it to massive volcanic eruptions that pushed Greenland and northwest Europe apart to create the North Atlantic Ocean. view more (2007-04-27)
Voyage to Southern Ocean aims to study air-sea fluxes of greenhouse gases
Scientists will embark this week from Punta Arenas, Chile, on the tip of South America, to spend 42 days amid the high winds and waves of the Southern Ocean. Here they hope to make groundbreaking measurements to explain how huge fluxes of climate-affecting gases move between atmosphere and sea, and vice-versa. view more (2008-02-27)
Scripps-led Global Ocean Warming Research Paper Published in Science
Research led by scientists at Scripps Institution of Oceanography at the University of California, San Diego, that describes the first clear evidence of human-produced warming in the world's oceans will be published June 2, 2005, in the peer-reviewed journal Science. view more (2005-06-03)
Indo-Pacific coral reefs disappearing more rapidly than expected
Corals in the central and western Pacific ocean are dying faster than previously thought, University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill researchers have found. view more (2007-08-08)
Ocean's Eleven : Media invitation
Invitation to a major oceanographic conference in Liverpool 13 - 17 September 2004 A single typhoon can lead to worldwide financial losses, according to Professor Tommy Dickey who flies in from the University of California on 13 September for the Challenger Society's 11th biennial conference in Liverpool.

Feasibility Study Shows Access Could Be Given Without Delay view more (2005-01-13)
Extracting Metal from the Sea â€" the Environmentally Friendly Way
A novel method that uses bacteria to mine valuable minerals from the ocean has been developed. Nodules collected from the Indian Ocean seabed can be treated to extract scarce land-based minerals in an environmentally sound way, says research published in the Journal of Chemical Technology and Biotechnology. Using the marine species Bacillus M1,... view more... (2004-04-02)
