Observing Arctic ice-edge plankton blooms from space
— 5 Mar 2011 13:51 | EnvironmentOngoing climate-driven changes to the Arctic sea-ice could have a significant impact on the blooming of tiny planktonic plants (phytoplankton) with important implications for the Arctic…
More deep-sea vents discovered
— 15 Feb 2011 16:12 | EnvironmentScientists aboard the Royal Research Ship James Cook have discovered a new set of deep-sea volcanic vents in the chilly waters of the Southern Ocean. The discovery is the fourth made…
Arctic climate variation under ancient greenhouse conditions
— 12 Feb 2011 19:52 | EnvironmentTiny organisms preserved in marine sediments hold clues about Arctic climate variation during an ancient episode of greenhouse warming…
Understanding patterns of seafloor biomass
— 9 Feb 2011 17:44 | EnvironmentAnalysis of a comprehensive database has revealed strong links between biological productivity in the surface oceans and patterns of biomass and abundance at the seafloor, helping to…
Efficient phosphorus use by phytoplankton
— 18 Dec 2010 14:43 | EnvironmentRapid turnover and remodelling of lipid membranes could help phytoplankton cope with nutrient scarcity in the open ocean…
Measuring air-sea exchange of carbon dioxide in the open ocean
— 6 Dec 2010 17:45 | EnvironmentA team led by scientists at the United Kingdom's National Oceanography Centre have measured the air-sea exchange of carbon dioxide in the open ocean at higher wind speed then anyone…
Global sea-level rise at the end of the last Ice Age
— 2 Dec 2010 20:13 | EnvironmentSouthampton researchers have estimated that sea-level rose by an average of about 1 metre per century at the end of the last Ice Age, interrupted by rapid 'jumps' during which it rose…
LIDAR applications in coastal morphology and hazard assessment
— 23 Nov 2010 18:32 | EnvironmentSouthampton scientists along with colleagues in New Zealand have used a sophisticated optical mapping technique to identify and accurately measure changes in coastal morphology following…
TWIPS - sonar inspired by dolphins
— 18 Nov 2010 11:15 | TechnologyScientists at the University of Southampton have developed a new kind of underwater sonar device that can detect objects through bubble clouds that would effectively blind standard…
Extreme global warming in the ancient past
— 11 Nov 2010 12:32 | EnvironmentVariations in atmosphere carbon dioxide around 40 million years ago were tightly coupled to changes in global temperature, according to new findings published in the journal Science.…
