Unprecedented global measurement network achieves full coverage of oceans

An array of instruments, many built at Scripps Institution of Oceanography at UC San Diego, that allows scientists to observe the basic physical state of all world oceans simultaneously is approaching its coverage goal after eight years of deployments.

1. Antarctic ice sheet's hidden lakes speed ice flow into ocean, may disrupt climate
   03-06-2007 · EurekAlert!
   In a new study, researchers have unearthed how water from a vast subglacial system contributes to the formation of ice streams, and how it plays a crucial role in transporting ice from the remote interior of Antarctica toward the surrounding ocean. Water flowing from this network of under-ice lakes, they say, ultimately affects climate and global sea level.

3. Global warming will reduce ocean productivity, marine life
   12-06-2006 · EurekAlert!
   A 10-year, satellite-based analysis has shown for the first time that primary biological productivity in the oceans -- the growth of phytoplankton that forms the basis for the rest of the marine food chain -- is tightly linked to climate change, and would be reduced by global warming. This would cause a rapid, overall reduction in marine life.

7. Map is first to track global human influences on ocean ecosystems
   02-14-2008 · EurekAlert!
   The first global map of human influences on marine ecosystems has been constructed by a team of researchers, including a Stanford University scientist among the principal investigators, by gathering and interpreting massive amounts of data from the professional literature and from researchers around the world. This study suggests that about 41 percent of oceans bear a serious human "footprint " and that few blue spots on our planet are likely pristine.

8. Carbon dioxide and the ocean
   03-07-2007 · EurekAlert!
   Global increases in temperature are just one facet of a much larger issue that scientists at the Rosenstiel School of Marine and Atmospheric Science are dedicated to uncovering. "The Marine Inorganic Carbon Cycle," a paper recently published in the journal Chemical Reviews, attempts to quantify over 60 years of research, reviewing a vast array of science that brings into question the Earth’s natural ability to rebound from the increase in inorganic carbon dioxide in the atmosphere and oceans.

    02-14-2008 · EurekAlert!
    A review of all available ocean data records concludes that the low-oxygen events which have plagued the Pacific Northwest coast since 2002 are unprecedented in the five decades prior to that, and may well be linked to the stronger, persistent winds that are expected to occur with global warming.
