SciTechDaily.com offers the latest oceanography news including scientific research related to currents, waves, ecosystem dynamics, marine geology, and more in the Atlantic Ocean, Arctic Ocean, Indian Ocean, Pacific Ocean, and Southern Ocean. Find the biggest breakthroughs on oceanology and the newest findings from oceanographers.
Climate projections could be off by five years, researchers find. The ocean’s “biological pump” describes the many marine processes that work to take up carbon…
Internal tides, or internal waves, can reach hundreds of feet underneath the ocean surface, but might only be a few inches high on the surface….
A team led by physical oceanographers at Scripps Institution of Oceanography at the University of California San Diego shows in a new study how plumes…
Paleontologists working in museum collections in Italy, Switzerland, and Germany have identified five additional specimens of a 240-million-year-old ichthyosaur, named Besanosaurus leptorhynchus, which was previously…
It is 2,250 kilometers long, but only 355 kilometers wide at its widest point — on a world map, the Red Sea hardly resembles an…
Researchers work to map shallow waters with freely available data and cloud computing. The shallow waters around islands and continental coastlines are important for human…
The first emergence and persistence of continental crust on Earth during the Archaean (4 billion to 2.5 billion years ago) has important implications for plate…
Researchers from the Oeschger Centre for Climate Change Research at the University of Bern have, for the first time, reconstructed mean ocean temperatures over the…
North Pacific loggerhead turtles’ years-long oceanic journeys remain poorly understood. Using data from satellite tracking and other techniques, scientists reveal a unique phenomenon that may…
Scientists’ findings suggest corals will withstand climate change. Charles Darwin, the British naturalist who championed the theory of evolution, noted that corals form far-reaching structures,…
It is well known that climate-induced sea level rise is a major threat. New research has found that previous ice loss events could have caused…
A new study shows that thick sea-ice can increase the sensitivity of Greenlandic fjords to climate warming. Understanding the factors that control how fast glaciers…
Study suggests reducing fishing and addressing environmental changes would help cod recover. Overfishing likely did not cause the Atlantic cod, an iconic species, to evolve…
For the first time, researchers have been able to obtain data from underneath Thwaites Glacier, also known as the “Doomsday Glacier.” They find that the…
Amid COVID pause in marine activities, growing network aims to monitor soundscapes, assess changes in behavior of marine life; More than 200 widely-distributed non-military hydrophones…
Researchers have confirmed for the first time that Pine Island Glacier in West Antarctica could cross tipping points, leading to a rapid and irreversible retreat…
Every year 600-900 million tons of carbon flow through rivers to the ocean either as particles or in dissolved form. Researchers have known for a…
Using satellite data to ‘see in the dark’, researchers have shown for the first time that lakes on the Greenland Ice Sheet drain during winter,…
