WAB joins the OCEaN initiative to promote hydrogen production from offshore wind

WAB has joined the Offshore Coalition for Energy and Nature (OCEaN) to promote sustainable practices in power generation with green hydrogen production from offshore wind a vital element.

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.

Artificial intelligence could be used to accurately predict tsunamis

A reliable early warning system to detect tsunamis could be a step closer thanks to research from Cardiff University.

Arctic Ocean started getting warmer decades earlier than we thought, study finds

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.

Study reveals first-time data on protection of China’s marine habitats

The researchers developed a comprehensive dataset that includes 326 marine and coastal sites around China, and have made this publicly available.

New study pinpoints likely path of COVID-related plastic waste in the ocean

While many researchers suspect there will be a massive influx of COVID-related mismanaged plastic waste, a new study is the first to project the magnitude and fate of the waste in the oceans.

IEA-OES releases White Paper on Ocean Thermal Energy Conversion

The tropical oceans act as incredibly large solar energy collectors and the OTEC process allows the production of electricity continuously, 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.

NOC and Subsea 7 launch research alliance

The UK’s National Oceanography Centre (NOC) is partnering with Subsea 7 to create BORA Blue Ocean Research Alliance™.

Microbiology researchers further understanding of ocean’s role in carbon cycling

Microbiology researchers at Oregon State University have shed new light on the mechanisms of carbon cycling in the ocean, using a novel approach to track which microbes are consuming different types of organic carbon produced by common phytoplankton species.

K LINE and TUMSAT start joint research on marine plastic waste

This joint research will use “K” LINE’s vessels, which navigate many seas around the world, to collect samples of plastic particles, and is expected to promote the study of marine plastic waste.

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.

Maritime rope could be adding billions of microplastics to the ocean every year

The hauling of rope on maritime vessels could result in billions of microplastic fragments entering the ocean every year, according to new research.
