Atlantic Freshwater Reserves May Help Ease the Global Water Crisis

Earth Science, Oceanography /

This summer, scientists drilled beneath the Atlantic off the U.S. Northeast and uncovered a vast, little-known freshwater reservoir — a finding that could hold major implications for a world grappling with a worsening water crisis. Freshwater beneath the Atlantic has been known for decades but left mostly unexplored. In the 1960s and 1970s, research expeditions […]

Did you Know the Earth’s Longest Mountain Range?

2 Comments / Earth Science, Oceanography, Science /

Big mountain ranges are on every continent, but the longest chain of peaks isn’t on any of these seven big pieces of land. Instead, it’s underwater. Called the mid-ocean range, this super long mountain chain follows the edges of Earth’s tectonic plates and stretches around the world like the stitching on a baseball. It’s about

How Waves and Mixing Impact Coastal Upwelling Systems

Earth Science, Oceanography, Science /

Coastal upwelling regions along the eastern boundaries of the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans are recognized as highly productive and biodiverse areas in the world’s oceans. The movement of near-surface water away from the coast, driven by equatorward winds, leads to the upwelling of cold, nutrient-rich water from the depths. This process stimulates the growth of

Fossil Spines Reveal the Deep Sea’s Past

Earth Science, Oceanography, Science /

In the ocean’s depths, primitive life likely originated eons ago. Nowadays, the deep sea is renowned for its peculiar and unusual marine life. Researchers are actively investigating how species’ diversity on the ocean floor has evolved over time. Some theories suggest that deep-sea ecosystems have repeatedly developed after multiple mass extinctions and significant shifts in

Hurricanes’ Deep Water Impact: Climate Effects Reaching Far and Wide

Climatology, Earth Science, Environmental Science, Oceanography, Science /

Scientists from the Scripps Institution of Oceanography at the University of California, along with a colleague from Brandeis University and two from Oregon State University, have discovered proof that typhoons/hurricanes can force warm water into the depths of the ocean, transporting it to distant locations. Their findings, posted in the Proceedings of the National Academy

The Ocean Colour System Gets a ‘Refresh,’ Permitting More Precise and Accurate Measurements

Biology, Earth Science, Environmental Science, Oceanography, Science /

We typically think of the ocean’s colour as blue, but in some regions, it looks blue-green. That’s due to the fact that those regions are teeming with single-cell plants named phytoplankton, which contain chlorophyll and reflect the green in sunshine. Though small, phytoplankton collectively absorbs almost as much co2 as all the trees and land
