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.

Napier Port launches sustainability strategy and action plan

The strategy extends out to a 10-year time frame

Artificial intelligence to help predict Arctic sea ice loss

IceNet, the AI predictive tool, is almost 95?curate in predicting whether sea ice will be present two months ahead—better than the leading physics-based model.

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.

Rivers are largest global source of mercury in oceans

The mercury that rivers transport into the ocean can come from atmospheric mercury that has ended up in soils; it can also come from other anthropogenic sources

Akvaplan-niva leading new project on Polar Front ecology

Akvaplan-niva has been awarded funding from the Research Council of Norway to study the role of the Polar Front in ecosystem structure and function in the western Barents Sea.

UK sea level rising but data quality going down

Scientists at NOC believe needs to be addressed by global investment in ocean observation, monitoring and measurement.

Neighbouring countries cannot obtain data from Russia on oil spill in Novorossiysk

Earlier, Ukraine could analyze and monitor such an environmental catastrophe as oil spill, because the Russian port of Novorossiysk is located near Crimea. But after Russia had occupied the peninsula, Ukrainian scientists were deprived of the opportunity to do such work.

Marine bacteria in Canadian Arctic capable of biodegrading diesel and oil

These permanently cold waters are seeing increasing industrial activity related to maritime shipping and offshore oil and gas sector activities.
