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.…
Discovery reveals how remora fishes know when to hitch a ride aboard their hosts
Remoras are among the most successful marine hitchhikers, thanks to powerful suction discs that allow them to stay tightly fastened to the bodies of sharks, whales and other hosts despite incredible drag forces while traveling through the ocean. But how…
New assessment of gas locked in ice in European waters

Climate gas budgets highly overestimate methane discharge from Arctic Ocean
The atmospheric concentration of methane, a potent greenhouse gas, has almost tripled since the beginning of industrialisation. Methane emissions from natural sources are poorly understood. This is especially the case for emissions from the Arctic Ocean. The Arctic Ocean is…

Technique allows dolphin pregnancy exams to mirror those in humans
The NMMF has just released its most recent advancement in dolphin medicine — an ultrasound technique for pregnant dolphins that mirrors the technique used for humans
Scientists use ancient marine fossils to unravel long-standing climate puzzle
Cardiff University scientists have shed new light on the Earth’s climate behavior during the last known period of global warming over 14 million years ago

Using a robot to deploy robots in remote oceans
A researcher at the University of East Anglia (UEA) has helped design a sea-going robot to deploy research equipment in remote and inaccessible ocean locations. The AutoNaut – an unmanned surface vessel – has been specially-adapted to carry and release…
The effects of microplastics on organisms in coastal areas
Microplastics (plastic particles under 5 mm) are an abundant type of debris found in salt and freshwater environments. In a Limnology & Oceanography Letters study, researchers demonstrated the transfer of microplastics through the food chain between microscopic prey and larval…

Antarctic waters: Warmer with more acidity and less oxygen
The increased freshwater from melting Antarctic ice sheets plus increased wind has reduced the amount of oxygen in the Southern Ocean and made it more acidic and warmer, according to new research led by University of Arizona geoscientists. The researchers…

Total collaps in the next 1,000 years unlikely
A fragile balance
Wind conditions influence water circulation and CO2 concentrations in the Southern Ocean
SFU research points to unprecedented and worrying rise in sea levels
A new study led by Simon Fraser University’s Dean of Science, Prof. Paul Kench, has discovered new evidence of sea-level variability in the central Indian Ocean. The study, which provides new details about sea levels in the past, concludes that…

Submarine cables to offshore wind farms transformed into a seismic network
New technology could open the door to seafloor earthquake monitoring
Australian desalination plant attracts fish
With growing populations and climate uncertainty, water security is a global concern. Many nations operate desalination plants, which remove salt from seawater to make it drinkable. These facilities typically discharge excess salt as hypersaline brine back into the ocean, with…
Submarine cables: billions of potential seismic sensors!
Scientists have for the first time shown that it is possible to detect the propagation of seismic waves on the seafloor using submarine telecommunications cables. According to their observations, this existing infrastructure could be used to detect earthquakes, as well…
