- Sea Level Rise | NASA Earthdata
NASA’s Earth science and socioeconomic data allow researchers to track sea level changes and the effects of rising sea levels on coastal populations
- Ocean in Motion - Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution
The ocean, however, is a non-linear and chaotic system, meaning nothing scales in a straight line, and even small perturbations in a current’s temperature, salinity, strength, or location can cause large changes that ripple through the planet’s teleconnection
- A rapid shift in ocean currents could imperil the worlds largest ice shelf
Roughly the size of Spain, the Ross Ice Shelf stabilizes major glaciers along Antarctica’s coast — and is at risk of retreating, a new study finds
- Mid-ocean Ridges – Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution
As the oceanic plates move apart at mid-ocean ridges, rocks from Earth's mantle, far below, rise to fill the void, mostly via slow plastic flow
- Iceberg A23a in the Southern Ocean, Antarctica - Earthdata
The embedded view above shows a series of false-color corrected reflectance images of iceberg A23a in the Southern Ocean, Antarctica Press "Play" in the lower left corner of the embedded map to watch iceberg A23a move through the Southern Ocean
- Eavesdropping on fish could help us keep better tabs on underwater worlds
Scientists are on a quest to log all the sounds of fish communication The result could lead to better monitoring of ecosystems and fish behavior
- Ocean Warming - Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution
Increasing ocean heat is closely linked to increases in atmospheric greenhouse gas concentrations, making the ocean an excellent indicator of how much Earth is warming
- The Gulf Stream - NASA Earthdata
The ocean is a vast and critical reservoir that supports a diversity of life, helps regulate climate, provides a large amount of the planet’s oxygen, and stores an abundance of carbon dioxide NASA satellite, airborne, and in-situ missions and projects are constantly collecting data about the global ocean
