Mathematical Tools Measure If Wave-Energy Devices Will Stay Afloat
A new set of analytical techniques developed by Texas A&M researchers can help predict if wave-energy devices will capsize in rapidly changing ocean environments.
Long-Term Data Show a Recent Acceleration in Chemical and Physical Changes in the Ocean
New research published in Nature Communications Earth & Environment uses data from two sustained open-ocean hydrographic stations in the North Atlantic Ocean near Bermuda to demonstrate recent changes in ocean physics and chemistry since the 1980s.
Arctic Ocean Sediments Reveal Permafrost Thawing During Past Climate Warming
Sea floor sediments of the Arctic Ocean can help scientists understand how permafrost responds to climate warming.
NASA Supercomputing Study Breaks Ground for Tree Mapping, Carbon Research
Scientists from NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Maryland, and international collaborators demonstrated a new method for mapping the location and size of trees growing outside of forests, discovering billions of trees in arid and semi-arid regions and laying the groundwork for more accurate global measurement of carbon storage on land.
The Sargasso Sea has Become Warmer and Saltier, and the Loss of Oxygen and Ocean Acidification is Accelerating
These are the findings from nearly forty years of shipboard observations made in the deep Sargasso Sea offshore of the verdant island and surrounding coral reefs of Bermuda.
