Nanoplastics—particles smaller than a human hair—can pass through cell walls and enter the food web. New research suggest 27 ...

However, in April 2014, water column data in this area became available from preliminary deployments from the National Science Foundation-funded Ocean Observatories Initiative (OOI).

In 2015 and 2016 a 225-square-mile chunk of it broke off the end and drifted away on the Amundsen Sea. The water there ... the water column. ... ocean water under the Pine Island Ice Shelf.

The warmer water was not carried on the surface of the ocean but deep in the water column. This warmer water may have reached the ice shelf where it is grounded on the sea floor.

Instead, they are complex features with rich vertical structure that modulate the temperature and oxygen in the water column from the surface deep into the ocean. The vertical structure of ...

To gain a clearer picture of the Filchner-Ronne Ice Shelf's future, Steiger analyzed water temperature and velocity data from 2017 to 2021. The data were captured by sensors attached to bottom ...

The colossal iceberg known as A23a has been slowly spinning in one spot of the Southern Ocean since April. Here’s what experts have to say on the phenomenon.

In the ocean, this organic carbon has an average age of thousands of years, ... New analytical tools identify distinct components of dissolved organic matter within the ocean water column.

In a study published Nov. 14, 2024 in the Journal of Geophysical Research: Oceans, researchers found that warm water flows more rapidly toward the shelf during warmer years, which could be linked ...
