Ocean circulation, ice melt and increasing tourism could all be contributing to Arctic microplastics
Scientists measured microplastic concentrations in the highly productive Barents Sea and suggest that ocean circulation, ice melt, tourism, inadequate waste management, shipping and fishing are all likely contributors. Numerous studies have shown that global microplastic quantities in the marine environment…
Gullies on Mars could have been formed by recent periods of liquid meltwater, study suggests
A study led by Brown University researchers offers new insights into how water from melting ice could have played a recent role in the formation of ravine-like channels that cut down the sides of impact craters on Mars.
Study identifies new cause of melting Antarctic ice shelves
Researchers have discovered a process that can contribute to the melting of ice shelves in the Antarctic.
WHOI-NOAA partnership tackles critical gap in climate knowledge
Researchers at WHOI were recently awarded a $500,000 grant from the NOAA Climate Observations and Monitoring program to develop machine learning tools to improve estimates of air-sea heat exchange in the Arctic Ocean and adjacent seas.
