ScienceDaily: A greater understanding and appreciation of our oceans is essential for the wellbeing of the world's population, according to the Global Marine Technology Trends 2030 (GMTT 2030) report launched today (Monday 7 September). The report is the culmination of a collaborative project between Lloyd's Register, Qinetiq and the University of Southampton looking at the future for: commercial shipping -- without which world trade would cease; for navies -- so vital for security; and the health of the oceans...

Oceans will rise much more than predicted, NASA says
2015-08-28 16:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
National Geographic: Year by year, millimeter by millimeter, the seas are rising. Fed by melting glaciers and ice sheets, and swollen by thermal expansion of water as the planet warms, the world's oceans now on average are about eight inches higher than a century ago. And this sea change is only getting started. The question is: How much higher will they go? NASA scientists are now warning that recent projections seem too conservative: Since 1992, sea levels have increased by an average of 3 inches around the world....

NASA teleconference on sea level change warns of rising oceans
2015-08-28 04:07:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Gizmag: On Aug. 26, NASA held a media teleconference regarding current predictions on sea level rise, highlighting the risks to coastal populations in low-lying areas, and the inherent problems in creating reliable global models. A panel of experts from NASA's recently-founded Sea Level Change Team tells us that ocean levels are inexorably on the rise, but gaps in our understanding and ability to survey risk regions mean we don't know just how fast the change will take place. "People need to be prepared...
The Worlds Oceans Are in Peril
2015-08-23 17:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Climate News Network: The worlds oceans--covering nearly two-thirds of the Earths surface, and on which much of human life depends--are under severe pressure, a new report says. Overfishing has dramatically reduced fish stocks. The thousands of tonnes of rubbish dumped in the oceans wreak havoc on marine life, while climate change is warming and acidifying them, putting them under further stress. These are the sobering conclusions of a wide-ranging study of the Earths ecosystems by the Worldwatch Institute, a...
