IODP Tahiti Sea Level Expedition Examines History of Global Sea Level Change, El Ni√ħo Events
Scientists from nine nations have set sail for the Integrated Ocean Drilling Program (IODP) Tahiti Sea Level Expedition, a research expedition initiated to investigate global sea level rise since the last glacial maximum, approximately 23,000 years ago. view more (2005-10-10)
Food shortages threaten Antarctic wildlife
Antarctic whales, seals and penguins could be threatened by food shortages in the Southern Ocean. Numbers of Antarctic krill (Euphausia superba), a shrimp-like crustacean at the heart of the food chain, are declining. The most likely explanation is a dramatic decline in sea-ice. The results are published this week in the journal Nature. view more (2004-11-01)
The Marine Mammal Center begins new leptospirosis study in California
The Marine Mammal Center is seeing a large number of leptospirosis cases in California sea lions this year and is leading a study to determine when and why the sea lions contract this disease. view more (2008-10-23)
The Risk Of Antarctic Ice Sheet Collapse
There has been much speculation that global warming may cause sea levels to rise due to the melting of ice sheets. For the first time scientists have worked out the likelihood of Antarctic ice sheet collapse using engineering risk-analysis techniques. They conclude that there is a 5% chance of major sea level rise (up to 1 metre) in the next... view more... (2001-12-28)
Most sick sea lions are inbred: research suggests a new focus in wildlife rehabilitation programmes
A team of scientists from Cambridge University and The Marine Mammal Center, USA, has studied sea lions undergoing rehabilitation in order to assess the effects of inbreeding on disease susceptibility. The team found that sea lions born to related parents took longer to recuperate and were affected more by infectious diseases and cancer than those... view more... (2003-03-06)
Marine researchers explore sediment highways
A European team of researchers has demonstrated that sediment is transported to the deep sea via canyons in the seabed. The sediment accumulates in the head of the submarine canyons. At the end of the canyons, mud avalanches disperse into the deep sea. Scientists from the Netherlands Institute for Sea Research (NIOZ) presented their findings at an... view more... (2002-04-18)
A warming climate can support glacial ice
New research challenges the generally accepted belief that substantial ice sheets could not have existed on Earth during past super-warm climate events. view more (2008-01-11)
Restoring seagrass beds: Is it for the birds?
Although most people consider bird droppings a nuisance, scientists at the Dauphin Island Sea Lab see them as a rich source of phosphorus, a natural fertilizer for grassbeds which have been destroyed by boat propellers. view more (2006-04-11)
Media Invitation: The 37th CIESM Congress Covering All Mediterranean Marine Sciences

Elevated Water Temperature and Acidity Boost Growth of Key Sea Star Species, UBC Researchers
New research by UBC zoologists indicates that elevated water temperatures and heightened concentrations of carbon dioxide can dramatically increase the growth rate of a keystone species of sea star. view more (2009-06-02)
Erosion rates double along portion of Alaska's coast
Skyrocketing coastal erosion occurred in Alaska between 2002 and 2007 along a 64 kilometer (40 mile) stretch of the Beaufort Sea, a new study finds. The surge of erosion in recent years, averaging more than double historical rates, is threatening coastal towns and destroying Alaskan cultural relics. view more (2009-02-19)
Arctic, antarctic melting may raise sea levels faster than expected
Ice sheets across both the Arctic and Antarctic could melt more quickly than expected this century, according to two studies that blend computer modeling with paleoclimate records. view more (2006-03-24)
New coastland map could help strengthen sea defenses
The 'Coastland Map' produced by scientists from Durham University and published in the Journal GSA Today, charts the post Ice-Age tilt of the UK and Ireland and current relative sea-level changes. view more (2009-10-07)
Ulysses to assist in monitoring Irish Sea
Ulysses, one of the ferries which ploughs back and forth across the Irish Sea is to be used by scientists from Wales and Ireland to monitor water quality in the Irish Sea. Thanks to European Funding under the Interreg programme, scientists from the University`s Centre for Applied Oceanography, part of the world renowned School of Ocean Sciences,... view more...

IODP scientists acquire 'treasure trove' of climate records off Tahiti coast
An international team of scientists, supported by the Integrated Ocean Drilling Program, reunited at the University of Bremen to analyze a trove of coral fossil samples retrieved from Tahitian waters during October and November 2005. view more (2006-03-02)
U of Minnesota-led study reveals mysteries of deep-sea nutrients
Iron dust, the rare but necessary nutrient for most life, can not only be washed into the ocean from rivers or blown out to sea, but it can bubble up from the depths of the ocean floor, a new study led by a University of Minnesota scientist shows. view more (2009-02-09)
Arctic sea ice diminished rapidly in 2004 and 2005
The Arctic Ocean's perennial sea ice, which survives the summer melt season and remains year-round, shrank abruptly by 14 percent between 2004 and 2005, according to a newly published study. view more (2006-09-14)
Gulf bay double whammy: Rising seas, dammed rivers
New research finds that every U.S Gulf Coast bay in Texas and Louisiana is vulnerable to significant flooding and expansion within the coming century due to a combination of rising seas and reduced silt flowing from dammed up rivers. view more (2006-10-24)
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 February) in the international journal Nature. The... view more... (2002-02-25)
Sea urchin genome suprisingly similar to man and may hold key to cures
Sea urchins are small and spiny, they have no eyes and they eat kelp and algae. Still, the sea creature's genome is remarkably similar to humans' and may hold the key to preventing and curing several human diseases, according to a University of Central Florida researcher and several colleagues. view more (2006-12-08)
