Ocean Installer to set-up UFRs in Moho Nord field, offshore Congo
2015-09-14 01:00:00| Offshore Technology
Norwegian subsea company Ocean Installer has secured a contract with Total E&P Congo to install umbilicals, flowlines, risers (UFR) at the Moho Nord field off the coast of the Republic of Congo.
Hawaii to experience worst-ever coral bleaching due high ocean temps
2015-09-13 21:59:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Guardian: Warmer-than-normal ocean temperatures around Hawaii this year will likely lead to the worst coral bleaching the islands have ever seen, scientists said. Many corals are only just recovering from last years bleaching, which occurs when warm waters prompt coral to expel the algae they rely on for food, said Ruth Gates, the director of the Hawaii Institute of Marine Biology. The phenomenon is called bleaching because coral lose their color when they push out algae. The island chain experienced...

This is how Southern Ocean helps the earth stabilize global warming
2015-09-12 15:44:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Next Digit: The Southern Ocean, encircling Antarctica is absorbing increased amounts of carbon dioxide in the air, and acts as the Earth`s natural carbon sink. Researchers found that the strong carbon sink, helping lower the effects of global warming at the moment. Earlier, researchers believed that the ocean had stopped absorbing carbon dioxide, but new data has revealed that it has revived its effort to soak up the carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. If the oceans had stopped or slowed their intake of CO2,...

Study: Southern Ocean Is Soaking Up More Carbon
2015-09-11 15:20:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Reuters: The vast Southern Ocean around Antarctica has started to soak up more greenhouse gases from the atmosphere in recent years, helping limit climate change, after signs its uptake had stalled, a study said on Thursday. The Southern Ocean's natural absorption of carbon roughly doubled to 1.2 billion tonnes in 2011 - equivalent to the European Union's annual man-made greenhouse gas emissions - from levels a decade earlier, it said. "It's good news, for the moment" for efforts to slow man-made global...

Climate change: Antarctic Ocean increases absorption of CO2
2015-09-11 03:43:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Agence France-Presse: Defying earlier fears, researchers say the Antarctic Ocean has been absorbing increasing amounts of carbon dioxide over the past decade, making it critical to mitigating the worst effects of climate change. The findings upend estimates, put forward a decade ago, that the seas surrounding the continent were approaching a saturation point and would not be able to continue to absorb increasing amounts carbon dioxide from the atmosphere. Since that time, the amount of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse...
