UrduWhen we predict future climate, it is important to understand the climate of the past. We do. Mostly. Some details are still debatable. An example of that are the periodicities of ice ages – that is, how ice ages come…

Colossal oysters have disappeared from Florida’s ‘most pristine’ coastlines
Hundreds of years ago, colossal oysters were commonplace across much of Florida’s northern Gulf Coast. Today, those oysters have disappeared, leaving behind a new generation roughly a third smaller – a massive decline that continues to have both economic and environmental impacts on a region considered by many to be the last remaining unspoiled coastlines in the Gulf.
Global ocean circulation is accelerating from the surface to the abyss
Deep-reaching acceleration of global mean ocean circulation over the past two decades

How the ocean is gnawing away at glaciers
The Greenland Ice Sheet is melting faster today than it did only a few years ago. The reason: it’s not just melting on the surface – but underwater, too. AWI researchers have now found an explanation for the intensive melting…
Researchers make critical advances in quantifying methane released from the Arctic Ocean
A new study, lead by researchers at Stockholm university and published in Science Advances, now demonstrate that the amount of methane presently leaking to the atmosphere from the Arctic Ocean is much lower than previously claimed in recent studies.
Sun, wind, and hydrogen: New Arctic station will do without diesel fuel
The Moscow Institute of Physics and Technology (MIPT) has initiated a project of the Russian Federation called “Arctic Hydrogen Energy Applications and Demonstrations” (AHEAD) in the Arctic Council’s Sustainable Development Working Group (SDWG). The project is supported by the Russian…
Robotic submarine snaps first-ever images at foundation of notorious Antarctic glacier
During an unprecedented scientific campaign on an Antarctic glacier notorious for contributions to sea-level, researchers took first-ever images at the glacier’s foundations on the ocean floor. The area is key to Thwaites Glacier’s potential to become more dangerous, and in…
The Atlantic Ocean fingerprint on the climate of the Middle East
The Atlantic Ocean acts as a key pacemaker for Middle East surface air temperature (ME-SAT) multidecadal variability in summer. This is the important result of a study published on NPJ Climate and Atmospheric Science unveiling and demonstrating the existence of…

Microplastics from ocean fishing can ‘hide’ in deep sediments
Microplastic pollution in the world’s oceans is a growing problem, and most studies of the issue have focused on land-based sources, such as discarded plastic bags or water bottles. Now, researchers reporting in ACS’ Environmental Science & Technology have linked…

Researchers rank ‘smartest’ schools of fish when it comes to travel formations
The concert of motion that fish schools are famous for isn’t merely an elaborate display of synchronized swimming. Their seemingly telepathic collective movement is part of a time-tested strategy for improving the group’s chances for survival as a whole, from…

Earth’s most biodiverse ecosystems face a perfect storm
A combination of climate change, extreme weather and pressure from local human activity is causing a collapse in global biodiversity and ecosystems across the tropics, new research shows.
Contradicting prevalent view, UCI oceanographers predict increase in phytoplankton
Irvine, Calif., Jan. 27, 2020 – A neural network-driven Earth system model has led University of California, Irvine oceanographers to a surprising conclusion: Phytoplankton populations in low-latitude waters will expand by the end of the 21st century. The unexpected simulation outcome runs counter to the longstanding belief by many in the environmental science community that global climate change will make tropical oceans inhospitable to phytoplankton, which form the base of the aquatic food web.
‘Blob’ research shows ecological effects that halted fishing and hiked whale entanglements
Unprecedented environmental changes inspire new online tools to better spot them next time
Study connects marine heat wave with spike in whale entanglements
Entanglements of humpback whales in fishing gear along the US West Coast increased dramatically during the 2014 to 2016 marine heat wave known as the ‘warm blob’

Slow-motion interplate slip detected in the Nankai Trough near Japan
Tokyo, Japan–Earthquakes are generally thought of as abrupt, violent events that last for only moments. However, movement of the Earth’s tectonic plates is often less sudden and more sustained – slow earthquakes can last for hours, months, or even longer.…
