Satellite data reveal Southern Ocean vertical currents diving 3,000 feet below surface

June 9, 2026 report Satellite data reveal Southern Ocean vertical currents diving 3,000 feet below surface Paul Arnold Author Lisa Lock Scientific Editor Robert Egan Associate Editor Ocean currents are not just horizontal motions that flow from side to side. There are also vertical currents that act like deep-sea elevators, pushing heat and carbon down into the deep, while bringing up vital nutrients and dissolved gases to the surface. Our knowledge of these vertical movements has been...

How waves, ponds and green algae are accelerating sea ice melt in Antarctica

How waves, ponds and green algae are accelerating sea ice melt in Antarctica Lisa Lock Scientific Editor Andrew Zinin Lead Editor Picture sea ice in your mind. You probably imagine brilliant white, snow-covered floes floating on the surface of the ocean, home to penguins in the south of the globe or polar bears in the north. But our new research shows Antarctic sea ice can turn into rafts of rotting floes (the free-floating pieces of ice) or an icy green slush when it interacts with waves in...
