Understanding transport and transformation processes within the carbon cycle is essential to creating global carbon dioxide budgets and therefore also projections for global warming.
An international team of researchers have sounded new alarm bells about the changing chemistry of the western region of the Arctic Ocean after discovering acidity levels increasing three to four times faster than ocean waters elsewhere.
Market-leading maritime connectivity service will provide coverage, reliability to support Tau Tech's pioneering seabed-harvesting methods in remote Barents Sea
The Arctic has warmed nearly four times faster than the rest of the planet over the last 40 years, according to research that suggests climate models are underestimating the rate of polar heating.
NTNU researchers from AMOS, the Centre for Autonomous Marine Operations and Systems, used small satellites and subsea robots — and everything in between — to study marine life in Svalbard’s Kongsfjorden in a first-ever experiment in May.
Russia has used the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea for its own economic and geopolitical interests. One Russian law requires all vessels passing through the Northern Sea Route to be piloted by Russians. The heavy regulation is one among many reasons why major shipping companies often use the Suez and Panama canals—longer, but cheaper and easier, trade routes.
The Arctic Ocean has been getting warmer since the beginning of the 20th century—decades earlier than records suggest—due to warmer water flowing into the delicate polar ecosystem from the Atlantic Ocean.
