NASA’s SWOT Satellite Reveals Big Impact of Small Ocean Currents and Waves on Ocean

#news #newstoday #tech #technews #latestnews #techupdates #newsupdates Small-scale ocean features once overlooked are now seen as powerful forces shaping Earth’s climate and marine life. Developed in association with the French space agency CNES, the SWOT (Surface Water and Ocean Topography) satellite caught two-dimensional images of submesoscale waves and eddies about…

Antarctic Ice Melt Weakens Strongest Ocean Current, Disrupting Global Circulation

Antarctic Ice Melt Weakens Strongest Ocean Current, Disrupting Global Circulation

#news #newstoday #tech #technews #latestnews #techupdates #newsupdates Earth’s most powerful ocean current is losing strength, with potential consequences for global ocean circulation. Scientists have projected that the Antarctic Circumpolar Current (ACC) could slow down by as much as 20 percent by 2050. The weakening of this current, which connects multiple…

Ocean Acidification Study: Carbon Emissions Driving Deeper Chemical Changes in Oceans

A new study published in Science Advances by Jens Müller and Nicolas Grube from the Institute of Biogeochemistry and Pollutant Dynamics at ETH Zurich has highlighted the growing depths of ocean acidification. Using a 3D model of the world’s oceans, the researchers examined how carbon emissions since the industrial age…

Animal Life Discovered Underground Near Hydrothermal Vents in the Deep Pacific Seabed

Animal Life Discovered Underground Near Hydrothermal Vents in the Deep Pacific Seabed

A recent exploration of the Pacific seabed has led to a groundbreaking discovery of animals living underground near deep-sea hydrothermal vents. Researchers from the Royal Netherlands Institute for Sea Research, led by marine biologist Sabine Gollner, used a deep-diving robot named SuBastian to dig into the ocean floor at the…
