Ten years of work into the transport of carbon from the surface ocean to the deep ocean interior, has been brought together in a landmark paper published in Geophysical Research Letters.
A series of new scientific papers by researchers at the National Oceanography Centre (NOC) have highlighted the importance of southwest UK waters for endangered and threatened marine life, including seabirds and porpoises. The results are being used to support marine conservation policy and showcase novel techniques and technologies for monitoring mobile species.
A massive underwater canyon has been discovered in the Mediterranean near Italy by an international team of scientists that includes mapping experts from the National Oceanography Centre.
Four NOC scientists have contributed to a study of satellite data from the last 19 years which has revealed that fresh water from melting glaciers has caused the sea-level around the coast of Antarctica to rise by 2cm more than the global average of 6cm.
Scientists from NOC have led a study to infer variability of the sub-polar Atlantic Ocean Meridional Overturning Circulation using estimates of air-sea exchanges of heat and water at the ocean’s surface.
The National Oceanography Centre’s remarkable RAPID project has reached a landmark ten years of continuous scientific measurement and knowledge advancement of a key component of the climate system.
An international team of scientists has discovered new relationships between deep-sea temperature and ice-volume changes to provide crucial new information about how the ice ages came about.
Saharan dust is coating our cars and irritating our lungs – but what else is it doing?
The iron that gives Saharan dust its red colour acts like fertilizer in the open ocean. Sunlight and warmer weather provide the perfect conditions for spring blooms – vast areas of ocean covered in plant growth typically in springtime.
The National Oceanography Centre and the Royal Navy have signed a Memorandum of Understanding to enable cooperation on a variety of activities relating to marine autonomous systems with a particular focus on gliders.
The webinar will be broadcast Thursday 12 December 2013 11:00 AM EST (8:00 AM PST). Registration is required for the seminar at www.oceanmysteries.net. This is part of Blue Marvel Series – there is no charge.
