Ocean gliders operated by The University of Western Australia from The Australian Integrated Marine Observing System’s (IMOS) facility have been deployed off the coast of Broome this week to collect ocean temperature data vital for understanding the marine and land heatwave affecting northern Australia.
The Journal of Environmental Pollution has published a study by scientists at CSIRO, Australia’s national science agency; Project AWARE, a global non-profit connecting community action and policy; and Ocean Conservancy, a US-based advocacy non-profit, that evaluated the relationship between land-based debris and what is found on corresponding seafloors.
The fragile nature of our planet has never been so pronounced – which makes the 50th anniversary of Earth Day, on April 22, such a significant occasion, according to Flinders University Associate Professor Alice Gorman.
Estuaries on the south-east coast of Australia are warming at twice the rate of oceans and the atmosphere, a new study has found.
A warming global climate could cause sudden, potentially catastrophic losses of biodiversity in regions across the globe throughout the 21st century, finds a new UCL-led study.
Researchers at Caltech and Occidental College have identified a methane-fueled symbiosis that exists between bacteria and worms at the seafloor, offering new insights into the ecology of deep-sea environments.
The Arctic Ocean increasingly resembles the Atlantic, not only regarding its temperature but also the species that live there.
University of Delaware, A new study led by the University of Delaware's Pinki Mondal recommends that in addition to using large swaths of coarse satellite data to evaluate forests on a national scale, it is important for countries to prioritize areas such as national parks and wildlife refuges and use finer scale data in those protected areas to make sure that they are maintaining their health and are being reported on accurately.
The unprecedented intensity of the recent fires here in Australia has meant we are leaning heavily on the science community to help understand and predict the future behaviour and spread of bushfires.
Experts in aquifer and groundwater springs are pumping their energy into conserving the delicate balance of water flow through the environmentally important Doongmabulla Springs Complex (DSC) in the Carmichael Basin in Queensland.
