NASA’s S-MODE field campaign deploys to the Pacific Ocean

NASA's Sub-Mesoscale Ocean Dynamics Experiment (S-MODE) is converging on a patch of sea 110 nautical miles off the coast of San Francisco.

Scientists find link between fast-melting Arctic ice and ocean acidification

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.

Whale-protecting ocean drones accelerate offshore wind

Saildrone will use ground-breaking technology and uncrewed surface vehicles (USVs) to protect marine wildlife, enabling the acceleration of offshore wind energy.

NOAA, NFWF award $2.6 million for largest U.S. marine national monument

The site is home to thousands of species of fish and wildlife, some that are found nowhere else

New seafloor images off the West Antarctic Ice Sheet upend understanding of Thwaites Glacier retreat

This massive ice stream is already in a phase of fast retreat (a "collapse" when viewed on geological timescales) leading to widespread concern about exactly how much, or how fast, it may give up its ice to the ocean.

Zombie ice from Greenland will raise sea level 10 inches

Greenland's rapidly melting ice sheet will eventually raise global sea level by at least 10.6 inches (27 centimeters)—more than twice as much as previously forecast—according to a study published Monday.

Scientists identify bioindicators for monitoring plastic pollution in the ocean

With an estimated 8 million metric tons of plastic waste escaping to our oceans each year, plastic pollution adversely affects the environment, climate, and even our health.

Robots documenting deep-sea biodiversity reveal a spectacular spaghetti worm

MBARI’s remotely operated vehicles (ROVs) have helped shed new light on the mysteries of the deep.

£3 million for new carbon capture project and pilot plant

A new carbon capture project could pave the way for large-scale removal of carbon dioxide (CO₂) from the atmosphere using the ocean.

Exploring the deep sea as a new source of rare earth elements

Rare earth elements (REEs), like lanthanum and cerium, are vital components in many everyday and emerging technologies, including smartphones, hard disks and clean energy.

First long-term evidence of microplastic pollution from deep water layers of the open ocean

The results provide insights into the temporal variability of sinking microplastics and thus a first approach to understanding their fate in the ocean.

3D-printed reefs to help restore marine biodiversity in the Kattegat in Denmark

This is the first time 3D-printed reefs are used in Danish waters, and they will complement existing boulder reefs that Ørsted established when constructing the Anholt Offshore Wind Farm in 2012-13.
