A massive ocean circulation that carries heat across the world and helps govern weather patterns in the North Atlantic appears to be slowing down. In fact, according to new studies, it is at its lowest point in the previous 1,000 years.

Recurring outbreaks of crown-of-thorns starfish (COTS) severely damage healthy corals, especially in the Western Pacific Ocean. To obtain a better understanding of population genetics of COTS and historical colonization across the Pacific Ocean, complete mitochondrial genomes were sequenced from 243 individuals collected in 11 reef regions. Our results indicate that Pacific COTS (Acanthaster cf. solaris) comprise two major clades, an East-Central Pacific (ECP) clade and a Pan-Pacific (PP) clade,...

Who has finally been in touch with herfamily in who has finally been in touch with her family in tonga. scientists have calculated the amount of meltwater dumped by the worlds biggest iceberg. the a68 broke away from the antartic coastline in 2017, at one point releasing 1.5 trillion litres of fresh water into the ocean every day. thats nearly eight times the daily water consumption of the united states. researchers say the iceberg will have altered ocean currents in the south atlantic as it mel...

Researchers say the iceberg will have altered ocean currents in the south atlantic as it melted, and the dust it deposited will have boosted the production of plankton. i want to bring you more of your tweets. this is in response to england moving from plan b to plan a. england moving from plan b to plan a, one says a complete removal of restrictions before the wave passes means that the clinically vulnerable will be forced to overcompensate to stay safe. rick said that masks made shops and publ...

Led scientific mission discovered it diving near the cents of the ocean known as the twilight zone. 100 to 200 feet below the surface where theres just enough light to sustain life. the coral reef appearing unaffected by climate change, stunning since warming waters have wiped out nearly half of the earths known reefs and over the next couple of decades there will be a 90% decline according to the latest projections. >> it shows us still how little we know about our own planet and how important ...

But ive neverfound one myself and then this week, a beach cleaner here in north cornwall found one. so, thats it. so, the green dragon. 25 years ago, this ship lost 62 containers 20 miles off the coast. one was full of 5 million pieces of lego. where it washes up now has told scientists much about the ocean currents, but also about how plastic in our oceans can last notjust for decades but hundreds of years. one of the biggest problems with plastic is it doesnt break down over time. it breaks up...
