Mesoscale eddies, oceanic swirling currents with typical horizontal scales of 10-100 kilometres in diameter, are ubiquitous features of the global ...

Mesoscale eddies, oceanic gyres about 100 kilometers in diameter, are ubiquitous features of the global ocean and play a ...

Researchers from the GEOMAR Helmholtz Centre for Ocean Research Kiel and MARUM - Centre for Marine Environmental Sciences at the University of Bremen have now shown that eddies play a crucial role in ...

How is organic matter transported from productive coastal areas to the open ocean? Researchers have now shown that eddies play a crucial role in this process. The swirling currents contain large ...

Scientists reveal the role of hidden microbes called Asgard archaea in the origins of complex life, challenging long-held ...

Microbial life thrives in some of the most extreme environments on Earth. Bacteria, archaea, and other microorganisms inhabit ...

A new study reveals that baleen whales, including humpbacks and gray whales, enrich oceans when they take a whizz.

Plastic dust is polluting the global environment: Microplastics – particles less than 5 mm in diameter – have been detected not only in in soils, freshwaters, and the ocean, but also in the air that ...

Scientists now recognize three domains, or superkingdoms, on the tree of life: the Bacteria, physiologically versatile, highly successful, and enormously diverse; the Archaea, renowned for their ...

The Fisker Ocean may well be designed in California, but it’s built by Magna Steyr in Austria. Which is why it may look, somewhat unexpectedly, like a compact, European-flavoured SUV.

Researchers used a climate simulator on Australia’s fastest supercomputer to model changes in the ACC given the projected ice melting and ocean warming under different carbon emission scenarios ...

Can we stop it weakening by 2050? Flowing clockwise around Antarctica, the Antarctic Circumpolar Current is the strongest ocean current on the planet. It's five times stronger than the Gulf Stream ...
