Europe pours money into ocean research as Trump guts science funding
PARIS — The European Union wants to plug a gaping hole in ocean research left behind by the administration of U.S. President Donald Trump. The trouble is, it has a lot less cash to splash. Last week, the European Commission launched the “OceanEye” program, which aims to make the EU “a global leader in ocean intelligence” by investing in critical ocean observation technologies and data collection on how oceans evolve. It came two weeks after the...
NASA satellites reveal major ocean nutrient stress
NASA satellites reveal major ocean nutrient stress Lisa Lock Scientific Editor Robert Egan Associate Editor A new study combining NASA satellite observations, ocean surveys and genetic testing of marine microorganisms found evidence that warming ocean waters may be limiting nutrient availability across much of the global ocean. The researchers report that this nutrient stress affects microscopic marine organisms and could influence marine ecosystems over time. The research, published June 5...
Ocean conservation needs strong relationships, not just targets
Ocean conservation needs strong relationships, not just targets Lisa Lock Scientific Editor Andrew Zinin Lead Editor With World Oceans Day coming up on June 8, policymakers and researchers will be thinking about the state of the ocean and efforts to protect marine environments. There is no shortage of global objectives and targets to drive those conversations. The United Nations Decade of Ocean Science for Sustainable Development (2021–30) has advanced 10 challenges to drive action.
Buoys track ocean waves across 14,000 km, from storms in Antarctica to ripples in Alaska
Buoys track ocean waves across 14,000 km, from storms in Antarctica to ripples in Alaska Lisa Lock Scientific Editor Robert Egan Associate Editor For the first time, mighty ocean waves generated in the Southern Ocean have been accurately measured all the way to the tiny ripples they form on the shores of Alaska. Professor Ian Young, from the University of Melbourne's Department of Infrastructure Engineering, is lead author on a landmark study that analyzed data from 300 drifting ocean buoys...
Dismay as Trump officials to dismantle key ocean monitoring system
Ocean Observatories Initiative, $368m network that has provided crucial climate data, latest victim of Trump cutsThe Trump administration plans to dismantle a $368m deep-sea observation system that has for more than a decade provided crucial data on ocean systems and climate change. In a notice, the National Science Foundation (NSF) announced that it had “initiated descoping of the Ocean Observatories Initiative” (OOI), a vast ocean observation network comprising more than 900 instruments...

Meltwater transport and mixing layer growth near the ice--ocean interface
Announce Type: replace Abstract: Ice melting into saline water plays a fundamental role in the dynamics near the ice-ocean interface in polar oceans. The physics of ice melting involves a non-trivial interplay between thermodynamics at the interface, hydrodynamic transport in the bulk and the properties of the ambient ocean. The key control parameters are the density ratio $R_\rho$ proportional to the ambient ocean salinity and the Lewis number $Le = \kappa_T/\kappa_S$, which compares the...
SWOT satellite gets clearer ocean data after fix for hidden underwater wave interference
SWOT satellite gets clearer ocean data after fix for hidden underwater wave interference Sadie Harley Scientific Editor Robert Egan Associate Editor Florida State University research published in Science Advances demonstrates a new framework for predicting the motion of kilometer-scale underwater waves that complicate satellite readings of the ocean. By accurately modeling these subsurface waves, scientists can remove their interference from NASA's Surface Water and Ocean Topography, or...
UN warns of 'deepening crisis' in oceans, urges action
UN warns of 'deepening crisis' in oceans, urges action Andrew Zinin Lead Editor Oceans are in a "deepening crisis" that demands urgent global action, a major U.N. report warned Monday, with seas warming and rising faster, ice cover shrinking, and marine ecosystems under mounting strain. The culmination of five years of work by 600 international scientists, the 1,352-page tome details the growing toll of climate change, pollution and overfishing in our oceans, which cover more than 70% of the...
All hands on deck: the EU's €92 million bid for a global ocean intelligence network
The European Commission's ocean observation initiative shifts from passive marine research to an active policing framework designed to project Western power and protect critical infrastructure. The European Commission announced on Wednesday a sweeping €92 million maritime initiative aimed at positioning the European Union as the global superpower in ocean patrolling and intelligence, citing "malicious actors" increasingly exploiting grey-zone tactics. The ocean covers 70% of the planet's...
