Ocean Temperature
Seals put on their thinking caps for under-ice science
Scientists investigate warm water that drives melting in Antarctica with the help of some seals with high-tech hats. Veronica TamsittI’m a PhD student at Scripps Institution of Oceanography in La Jolla California. My research is focused on the Southern Ocean circulation and it’s role in climate. For my research I sometimes spend months at sea […]
What can sea level tell us about long-term climate variability in the Atlantic?
Ocean circulation plays a major role in delivering heat to the subpolar North Atlantic and influence long-term changes in sea surface temperatures. A cleaver use of tidal gauge data shows that we are in for a natural transition to cooler temperatures in the North Atlantic with unfavorable consequences for coastal sea level rise along the […]
Sensors probe oceans for answers
Deep-diving ocean drones confirm continued warming of the ocean’s abyss due to Earth’s energy imbalance. Hillary ScannellHillary received her MS in oceanography from the University of Maine in 2014 and works in the Ecosystem Modeling Lab at the Gulf of Maine Research Institute in Portland, ME.
