The Department of Energy is inviting proposals for time next year on its supercomputers at Argonne and Oak Ridge National Laboratories. Marine researchers are among the current users of INCITE program resources.
Although it might sound obvious to a human reader of this news — after all our mothers, and our fathers teach us where to get our food — the teaching of such a specific behavior in the natural world is not universal. Often, if involves instinctive behavior and in any case, documenting the mechanics of how [...]
It is impossible nowadays to have an informed discussion of global warming and climate change without understanding the role of the oceans in affecting the key processes of change. A new study led by award-winning NOAA scientist Susan Solomon, examined how changes in surface temperature, rainfall and sea level are largely irreversible for more than 1,000 [...]
Australia’s Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organization (CSIRO) announced last week that a four-week expedition to explore the deep ocean southwest of Tasmania has revealed new species of animals and more evidence of impacts of increasing carbon dioxide on deep-sea corals. The collaborative voyage of U.S. and Australian researchers was led by chief scientists Dr. Jess [...]
Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution researchers recently used a Bahamas brain coral to reconstruct a 218-year-long temperature record showing the long-term behavior of the North Atlantic Oscillation (NAO), a large-scale atmospheric pressure variation. The scientists believe that the resulting knowledge of the past behavior of the NAO in response to global temperature changes can help predict [...]
The Navy requested authorization under the Marine Mammal Protection Act because the mid-frequency sound generated by tactical active sonar, and the sound and pressure generated by detonating explosives, may affect the behavior of some marine mammals or cause a temporary loss of their hearing. NOAA’s Fisheries Service has issued regulations and a letter of authorization [...]
In a positive development that recognizes the need for more and better international collaboration, Europe’s three largest marine research institutes have announced plans to strengthen scientific cooperation in global oceanographic research. The National Oceanography Centre Southampton (NOCS), UK, the French Research Institute for Exploitation of the Sea, (Ifremer), and the Leibniz Institute of Marine Sciences [...]
Welcome to Marine Science Today, your source for the latest news about the study of our planet’s oceans. You will find here articles and analysis about the people, the technology, the policy and the various research disciplines involved in modern marine science. Marine Science Today has taken over the former marine science content stream of [...]
