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...
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...
Hidden meltwater found deep in Antarctic coastal waters reveals stronger climate impacts
June 5, 2026 feature Hidden meltwater found deep in Antarctic coastal waters reveals stronger climate impacts Hannah Bird Author Gaby Clark Scientific Editor Robert Egan Associate Editor Freshwater from melting Antarctic glaciers may be influencing the Southern Ocean in ways scientists have largely overlooked. New research, published in Frontiers in Marine Science, has found that glacial meltwater is not confined to the ocean's surface, as previously assumed, but can also be detected much...
Another US air strike in the Pacific kills 'narco-terrorists' taking death toll to 202
The United States military has killed at least 202 people in air strikes on boats in the eastern Pacific Ocean. US Southern Command says the vessels are part of "narco-trafficking" operations and the people on board are "narco-terrorists". The Trump administration has declared the US is in armed conflict with Latin American drug cartels.
Around 20,000 people displaced by Philippine earthquake that killed at least 37
The Philippines is often hit by earthquakes and volcanic eruptions due to its location on the Pacific “Ring of Fire,” an arc of seismic faults around the ocean. Rescuers searched ruined buildings in the southern Philippines on Tuesday to ensure no one was still trapped a day after one of the strongest earthquakes to hit the country in half a century killed at least 37 people and displaced more than 20,000. Only four people were considered missing on official records in the southern provinces...

Daniel Turpin had been spearfishing with family near Michaelmas Island, off the tourist town of Albany, when he was attacked about 11:20am local time. He was met by paramedics after being raced back to shore but...
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...
