Tankers International and Vertree launch climate compensation voyage programme

Initiative will offer climate compensation with the highest environmental and social integrity, supporting cargo owners to improve ESG standards and environmental compliance

Scientists build new atlas of ocean’s oxygen-starved waters

The new atlas provides high-resolution maps of the two major, oxygen-starved bodies of water in the tropical Pacific.

Chilean scientists study climate change at ‘end of the world’

Chilean scientists studying organisms in one of the most remote places on Earth are urging regional leaders to step up efforts to tackle climate change.

Glaciers collapse could trigger global floods and swallow islands

The massive Thwaites glacier in West Antarctica contains enough ice to raise global sea levels by 65cm if it were to completely collapse. And, worryingly, recent research suggests that its long-term stability is doubtful as the glacier hemorrhages more and more ice.

Reef experiment set to answer big reef restoration questions

Scientists have selectively shaded bleached corals on the Great Barrier Reef – gaining critical in-field data

Climate change is making one of the world’s strongest currents flow faster

The Antarctic Circumpolar Current (ACC), the only ocean current that circumnavigates the planet, is speeding up. For the first time, scientists are able to tell that this is happening by taking advantage of a decades-long set of observational records.

Port of Antwerp and Port of Montreal pledge to create a green shipping corridor

Together, they intend to facilitate the trade of green fuels and the supply of renewable fuels and clean technologies to vessels.

NASA satellites show how clouds respond to Arctic sea ice change

Clouds are one of the biggest wildcards in predictions of how much and how fast the Arctic will continue to warm in the future.

Midstream joins The Climate Pledge to accelerate energy efficiency initiatives in ports

Global manufacturer of LED lighting for the maritime industry signs global environmental initiative, founded by Amazon and Global Optimism, to help support decarbonisation across shipping's supply chains

New ocean temperature data help scientists make their hot predictions

The ubiquity of the Argo floats offers unprecedented real-time monitoring of ocean temperatures

Study: Extreme sea levels to become much more common

Global warming will cause extreme sea levels to occur almost every year by the end of the century, impacting major coastlines worldwide, according to new research from an international team of scientists.

Increased snowfall will offset sea level rise from melting Antarctic ice sheet

Using modern methods to calculate projected changes to sea levels, researchers discovered that the two ice sheets of Greenland and Antarctica respond differently, reflecting their very distinct local climates.
