Trouble looms as warmer oceans push marine life toward the poles
2015-06-04 21:25:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Reuters: Rising sea temperatures attributed to global climate change could drive many marine creatures away from the equator, but their move toward the poles promises to put them in peril in habitats that are smaller and less hospitable, scientists say. Two studies published on Thursday in the journal Science illustrate dangers researchers forecast for sea animals as diverse as corals, fish and crustaceans. University of Washington oceanographer Curtis Deutsch said warmer ocean temperatures increase...

Westermo Switches Provide Mission Critical Reliability Below the Oceans
2015-06-03 12:31:08| Industrial Newsroom - All News for Today
Extracting oil and gas from subsea reservoirs is very challenging and requires sophisticated technology to ensure safe and efficient production. Subsea systems are constantly being developed and improved, and as a result, the boundaries of which reservoirs are considered economically unviable or inaccessible are...

Climate change takes toll ocean's smallest creatures
2015-05-30 07:10:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Minneapolis Star Tribune: Climate change scientists have known for years that rising temperatures affect sea creatures, from the biggest fish to the microscopic plankton at the base of the ocean food chain. Now, a four-year expedition that sampled microbes from across the worlds oceans is bringing the mechanisms of that change into focus. These tiny creatures (seen amazingly close up above and below), which may be among the oldest on Earth, together absorb carbon dioxide, make oxygen, break down waste and nourish other creatures....

Dissecting the ocean's unseen waves to learn where the heat, energy and nutrients go
2015-05-11 07:02:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
ScienceDaily: Beyond the pounding surf loved by novelists and beachgoers alike, the ocean contains rolling internal waves beneath the surface that displace massive amounts of water and push heat and vital nutrients up from the deep ocean. Internal waves have long been recognized as essential components of the ocean's nutrient cycle, and key to how oceans will store and distribute additional heat brought on by global warming. Yet, scientists have not until now had a thorough understanding of how internal waves...
Plastic Pollution = Cancer of Our Oceans: What Is Cure?

EcoWatch: By now, many people know that the ocean is filled with plastic debris. A recent study estimates that the amount of plastic waste that washes off land into the ocean each year is approximately 8 million metric tons. Jenna Jambeck, the studys lead author, helps us visualize the magnitude by comparing it to finding five grocery bags full of plastic on every foot of coastline in the 192 countries included in the study. As someone who lives in a highly urbanized coastal city in California, this estimate...
