A University of Washington team examined 178 cans of Alaskan salmon spanning 1979 to 2021. Anisakid parasites increased in chum and pink salmon, suggesting marine mammal populations have recovered. Canned goods became an unlikely time capsule for marine ecosystems.
Melted Antarctic ice doesn't just flow into the sea. It also seeps beneath the seafloor. MBARI led the first CSEM electromagnetic survey in Antarctica to investigate groundwater and gas flow below the seabed in one of the Southern Hemisphere's fastest-warming regions.
Since 1993, African sea levels have risen 11.26cm at 3.54mm/year — exceeding the global average. The 2023-24 El Niño caused a 27mm anomaly. 38 coastal nations and 200 million people are at risk.
University of Alaska Fairbanks researchers analyzed 27 years of data revealing Alaska coastal landfast ice is disappearing rapidly. Ice season shortened by 57 days in the Chukchi Sea.
41 experts from 6 countries discussed marine CO₂ removal (mCDR) field trial monitoring challenges at GEOMAR. Key issues include lack of unified guidelines, missing baseline data, and difficulty distinguishing effects from background variability.
GEOMAR and Max Planck Institute analyzed 100 years of climate simulations to show that North Atlantic sea surface temperature drops trigger European heat waves, and high-resolution ocean models are essential for accurate reproduction.
As ocean warming reaches depths below 1,000m, the archaeon Nitrosopumilus maritimus — comprising about 30% of marine microbial plankton — has been found to function more efficiently in warmer waters, potentially reshaping ocean nutrient cycles.
