Recipe for a storm: The ingredients for more powerful Atlantic hurricanes
As the world warms, the interaction between the Atlantic Ocean and atmosphere may be the recipe for stronger, more frequent hurricanes.   view more (2007-11-30)

Huge waves that hit Reunion Island tracked from space
The origin and movement of waves reaching up to 11 metres that devastated France's Reunion Island in the Indian Ocean on Saturday evening have been detected with ESA's Envisat satellite.    view more (2007-05-17)

Surf not up for Palaeozoic creatures - new model reveals ancient sea was a giant lake
The ancient sea was more like a giant salty lake than a rolling ocean, report scientists from Imperial College London in the May edition of the Journal of the Geological Society. A new computer model that simulates how tides in North West Europe would have behaved 300 million years ago shows a sea... view more (2005-05-09)

Pride of Bilbao to keep check on the ocean`s health
P&O Portsmouth`s ship Pride of Bilbao has recently taken on board more than her regular load of passengers. A box of scientific sensors has been installed in the ship`s engine room to collect valuable data about the state of the ocean each time she sails from Portsmouth through the diverse Bay of... view more (2002-06-05)

Study Sheds Light on Earth's CO2 Cycles, Possible Impacts of Climate Change
A research team, including Kent State Professor of Geology Dr. Joseph Ortiz, tracing the origin of the large carbon dioxide increase in Earth's atmosphere at the end of the last ice age has detected two ancient "burps" that originated from the deepest parts of the southern ocean around... view more (2007-05-14)

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... view more (2004-08-04)

The tropics play a more active role than was thought in controlling the Earth's climate
Researchers from the Universitat Aut√≤noma de Barcelona and Durham University (UK) have discovered that a million years ago, global climate changes occurred due to changes in tropical circulation in the Pacific similar to those caused by El Ni√ħo today.   view more (2005-10-12)

NASA celebrates a decade observing climate impacts on health of world's oceans
The NASA-managed Sea-viewing Wide Field-of-view Sensor (SeaWiFS) instrument settled into orbit around Earth in 1997 and took its first measurements of ocean color.   view more (2007-09-20)

Pacific coast turning more acidic
An international team of scientists surveying the waters of the continental shelf off the West Coast of North America has discovered for the first time high levels of acidified ocean water within 20 miles of the shoreline, raising concern for marine ecosystems from Canada to Mexico.   view more (2008-05-23)

Outflow from World's Largest River - the Amazon - Powers Atlantic Ocean Carbon
Nutrients from the Amazon River's outflow spread well beyond the continental shelf and drive carbon cycling in the tropical ocean, say scientists who conducted a multi-year study. They will publish their results this week online in the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (PNAS).   view more (2008-07-23)

Bigelow Laboratory Scientists develop new approach to study marine microbes
Drs. Michael Sieracki and Ramunas Stepanauskas, scientists at Bigelow Laboratory, have proven a new approach of obtaining genetic codes of ocean microbes, based on the analysis of individual unicellular organisms.   view more (2007-05-22)

Unexpected growth in atmospheric CO2
A team of scientists has found that atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO2) growth has increased 35 percent faster than expected since 2000. The findings are published this week in the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (PNAS).   view more (2007-10-23)

Amazon powers tropical ocean's carbon sink
Nutrients from the Amazon River spread well beyond the continental shelf and drive carbon capture in the deep ocean, according to the authors of a multi-year study.   view more (2008-07-22)

Constructal theory predicts global climate patterns in simple way
A unifying physics principle that describes design in nature predicts, in surprisingly straightforward fashion, the basic features of global circulation and climate.   view more (2006-02-09)

Global warming could lead to fast freeze, warns University of Ulster scientist
Dramatic climate change as a result of global warming could happen in a single lifetime - instead of being a slow process evolving over centuries, according to a University of Ulster academic. Professor Marshall McCabe of the School of Environmental Sciences said that given the right set of... view more (2004-05-25)

Metagenomics of the deep Mediterranean
Metagenomics is a revolutionary approach to study microbes. Rather than isolating pure cultures, the power of high-throughput sequencing is applied directly to environmental samples to obtain information about the genomes of the prokaryotic cells present in a specific habitat studied.   view more (2007-09-19)

Antarctic icebergs: unlikely oases for ocean life
Icebergs have long gripped the popular imagination, whether as relatively run-of-the-mill floating hazards that cause "unsinkable' ships to founder or, more recently, as enormous breakaway pieces of ice the size of states or small countries.   view more (2007-06-25)

AGU Journal European highlights - 30 October 2002
The following highlights summarize research papers in Geophysical Research Letters (GRL) and Paleoceanography (PA). The papers related to these Highlights will be printed in the next paper issues of the respective journals following their electronic publication.   view more (2002-10-30)

Envisat and ERS-2 reveal hidden side of Hurricane Rita
As Hurricane Rita entered the Gulf of Mexico, ESA's Envisat satellite's radar was able to pierce through swirling clouds to directly show how the storm churns the sea surface.   view more (2005-09-26)

Ocean acidification -- another undesired side effect of fossil fuel-burning
Up to now, the oceans have buffered climate change considerably by absorbing almost one third of the worldwide emitted carbon dioxide. The oceans represent a significant carbon sink, but the uptake of excess CO2 stemming from man's burning of fossil fuels comes at a high cost: ocean acidification.   view more (2008-05-22)

A Promise Of Half A Million Years: EU Research Provides New Insight Into Climate Change
Within the EUR3,6 million EU research project PROMESS1 (PROfiles across MEditerranean Sedimentary Systems), with a EU EUR2,7 million contribution, European scientists have collected 500 000 year-old sediment cores from the bottom of the Mediterranean Sea. These samples will allow researchers to... view more (2004-07-22)

ESA to select new Earth Explorer missions
An important milestone for ESA's Living Planet Programme is to be reached this spring when it will be decided which of the six candidate Earth Explorer missions are to be selected for development. Before decisions are taken, the user community is invited to express their views at the Earth Explorer... view more (2004-02-05)

Ice Age North Atlantic temperatures, tropical oceans linked
Sudden shifts in temperature over Greenland and tropical rainfall patterns during the last ice age have been linked for the first time to rapid changes in the salinity of the north Atlantic Ocean, according to research published Oct. 5 in the journal Nature.   view more (2006-10-05)

Modeling of long-term fossil fuel consumption shows 14.5 degree hike in temperature
If humans continue to use fossil fuels in a business as usual manner for the next several centuries, the polar ice caps will be depleted, ocean sea levels will rise by seven meters and median air temperatures will soar 14.5 degrees warmer than current day.   view more (2005-12-07)
