In August 2026, Gradone and Selden will lead a 28-day expedition aboard the R/V Falkor (too), a state-of-the-art research ...

Carbon storage in Earth’s oceans is controlled by deep-sea mixing processes, but the details have proved difficult to test. Ambitious efforts to track ocean mixing using dye have now demonstrated the ...

A handful of videos on YouTube and TikTok have been racking up likes by showing a strange line in the ocean, with dark water on one side and light water on the other. Lines like this often appear ...

Wave-induced mixing represents a critical process within the upper ocean, where the interplay of surface wave mechanics drives vertical transport of mass, energy and momentum. The resulting turbulence ...

BUSAN, South Korea, Nov. 13, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Melting sea ice in polar regions is transforming how the oceans move and mix. In a recent study, researchers used a high-resolution climate model to ...

Colossal undersea mountains, towering up to thousands of metres high, stir up deep sea currents: impacting how our ocean stores heat and carbon. An international team used numerical modelling to ...

Tropical cyclones are enormously powerful: The destructive wind speeds, fierce gusts, and intense rainfall leave obvious marks wherever they pass. They also affect the ocean. Because the storms stir ...

At high latitudes, such as near Antarctica and the Arctic Circle, the ocean's surface waters are cooled by frigid temperatures and become so dense that they sink a few thousand meters into the ocean's ...

A new £2.5 million project led by the University of Southampton and the National Oceanography Centre (NOC) is set to transform our understanding of how the ocean ‘breathes', storing heat and ...

Scientists have discovered a previously undetected water mass in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean: a gigantic body of water stretching across the Atlantic from the tip of Brazil to the Gulf of Guinea, ...

Shoals of breeding anchovies may be stirring the ocean off the coast of Spain. The finding suggests that fish could play a bigger role in vertical ocean mixing than previously believed. Bieito ...
