Underwater robots work together without human input
This August in Monterey Bay, Calif., an entire fleet of undersea robots will for the first time work together without the aid of humans to make detailed and efficient observations of the ocean.   view more (2006-08-02)

Marine researchers from Bremen discover giant canyon off the coast of northwest Africa
Scientists from the DFG Research Center Ocean Margins in Bremen made a sensational discovery during their latest expedition on board RV "Meteor" which ended only a few days ago. Off the coast of Mauritania they came across an enormous underwater canyon in a phantastic shape. It meanders a distance... view more (2003-05-22)

Antarctic krill provide carbon sink in Southern Ocean
New research on Antarctic krill (Euphausia superba), a shrimp-like animal at the heart of the Southern Ocean food chain, reveals behaviour that shows that they absorb and transfer more carbon from the Earth's surface than was previously understood.   view more (2006-02-07)

Carbon dioxide and climate - the plot thickens
Using a novel technique, the researchers obtained a best estimate for carbon dioxide levels 43 million years ago of 385 parts per million (ppm), slightly higher than today's figure of 360 ppm. This result is far below earlier estimates which suggested that carbon dioxide levels were up to six times... view more (1999-06-08)

Scientists find evidence of catastrophic sand avalanches, sea level changes in Gulf of Mexico
An international team of marine research scientists working for the Integrated Ocean Drilling Program (IODP) have found new evidence that links catastrophic sand avalanches in deep Gulf waters to rapid sea level changes.   view more (2005-07-11)

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... view more (2008-05-21)

Ships bring alien jellyfish invaders to our shores
Marine environments around the world are being threatened by exotic species of the moon jellyfish being dispersed by international shipping, according to new research.   view more (2005-08-16)

IARC scientists document warm water surging into Arctic
Scientists at the University of Alaska Fairbanks International Arctic Research Center this fall documented that recent surges of warm water from the North Atlantic Ocean continue to pulse into the Arctic Ocean and are moving toward Alaska and the Canadian Basin.   view more (2006-09-27)

New technology may help Olympic sailing
A team of researchers at the Ocean University of China has developed and tested a mobile lidar (light detection and ranging) station that can accurately measure wind speed and direction over large areas in real time -- an application useful for aviation safety, weather forecasting and sports.   view more (2008-07-01)

Ancient climate secrets raised from ocean depths
Scientists aboard the research vessel, Southern Surveyor, return to Hobart today with a collection of coral samples and photographs taken in the Southern Ocean at greater depths than ever before.   view more (2008-02-04)

'New continent' and species discovered in Atlantic study
A scientist from the University of Aberdeen is leading a team of international researchers whose work will continue our understanding of life in the deepest oceans, and contribute to the global Census of Marine Life.   view more (2007-08-20)

Arctic ocean history is deciphered by ocean-drilling research team
Sediment cores retrieved from the Arctic's deep-sea floor by the Integrated Ocean Drilling Program's Arctic Coring Expedition (ACEX) have provided long-absent data to scientists who report new findings in the June 21 issue of Nature.   view more (2007-06-21)

Scientists expand understanding of how river carbon impacts the Arctic Ocean
Arctic rivers transport huge quantities of dissolved organic carbon (DOC) to the Arctic Ocean. The prevailing paradigm regarding DOC in arctic rivers is that it is largely refractory, making it of little significance for the biogeochemistry of the Arctic Ocean.   view more (2008-02-13)

UF study: Isthmus of Panama formed as result of plate tectonics
Contrary to previous evidence, a new University of Florida study shows the Isthmus of Panama was most likely formed by a Central American Peninsula colliding slowly with the South American continent through tectonic plate movement over millions of years.   view more (2008-07-30)

New methods for brain research
Novel methods of measuring magnetic fields outside the head give further insights to the functioning of the human brain. In his doctoral thesis "Estimating Neural Currents from Neuromagnetic Measurements", Kimmo Uutela developed new methods for finding electrical activity of the brain,... view more (2002-12-10)

NASA Scientists Closer to Timely Space Weather Forecasts
Scientists funded by NASA have made big strides in learning how to forecast "all clear" periods, when severe space weather is unlikely. The forecasts are important because radiation from particles from the sun associated with large solar flares can be hazardous to unprotected astronauts,... view more (2005-08-18)

NRL measures record wave during Hurricane Ivan
Scientists at the Naval Research Laboratory-Stennis Space Center (NRL-SSC) measured a record-size ocean wave when the eye of Hurricane Ivan passed over NRL moorings deployed last May in the Gulf of Mexico.   view more (2005-08-05)

Ocean's 'twilight zone' plays important role in climate change
A major study has shed new light on the dim layer of the ocean called the "twilight zone"—where mysterious processes affect the ocean's ability to absorb and store carbon dioxide accumulating in our atmosphere.   view more (2007-04-27)

After the World Cup... the dancing continues in space
The Brazilian World Cup celebrations may have started to die down, but in space the never-ending football match between the Sun and Earth continues. And watching this match closely are Salsa, Samba, Rumba and Tango, the four satellites that make up the Cluster mission. They are performing their... view more (2002-07-08)

Carbon offset warning from international team of scientists
Leading marine scientists from across the world have issued a warning that it is too early to sell carbon offsets from ocean iron fertilisation.   view more (2008-01-11)

Sand dunes tell tale of volcanic devastation
University of Leicester scientists have made a unique discovery at an Atlantic island popular with British holidaymakers. They have uncovered giant sand dunes on Tenerife that tell a tale of terrifying destruction in ancient times, when fiery clouds swept right across the island, leaving very... view more (2004-05-06)

Climate kick from the Southern Ocean
This much was already known: in the closing phase of the last ice age the Southern Hemisphere began warming first. As a result, the Antarctic sea ice melted. It was at least a thousand years later - as evidenced by investigations of Greenland ice cores - that the high northern latitudes began to... view more (2003-07-29)

Coral reefs found growing in cold, deep ocean
Imagine descending in a submarine to the ice-cold, ink-black depths of the ocean, 800 metres under the surface of the Atlantic.   view more (2008-11-05)

First buoy to monitor ocean acidification launched
The first buoy to monitor ocean acidification has been launched in the Gulf of Alaska. Attached to the 10-foot-diameter buoy are sensors to measure climate indicators.   view more (2007-06-13)

Cold water gets mixed in 'blender' of Scotia Sea
The Scotia Sea, located between the Antarctic and the tip of South America, acts like a 'blender' on the very cold ocean waters that influence global ocean circulation patterns and ultimately climate, according to new research from the University of East Anglia (UEA) and published today (28... view more (2002-02-25)
