Set out to predict future sea level rise 🌊 That’s the mission when researchers Martin Jakobsson and Nina Kirchner, among others, embark on an icebreaker expedition to one of the most remote fjords in northern Greenland, Victoria Fjord. By collecting field data from an environment that has not been studied before, they hope to be able to calibrate numerical models which can give a more accurate predictions on how melting glaciers will impact global sea levels. The expedition is coordinated by Polarforskningssekretariatet.

Look what we found! 🔎 As a result of a multi-year, multi-agency exploratory collaboration with the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) we uncovered the world's largest deep-sea coral reef: https://ow.ly/ECFH50QseQP From Miami to South Carolina, we identified coral habitats with characteristics we had never quite found before: https://ow.ly/nXg950QseQO These mapping efforts, which unveiled 6.4 million acres on the East Coast, provide new insights into seafloor habitats and ecosystem-based management practices: https://ow.ly/goBm50QseQK

'Antarctica is many things and can be understood via multiple framings and geographical imaginaries: as a scientific laboratory, a claimed territory, a tourist hotspot, a ground zero for runaway climate change, a site of legal personality and a global common that should then be managed in the interests of all rather than a select few who are members of the ATS' In ‘What is Antarctica?’, Klaus Dodds considers how the continent has become known in different ways: as geopolitical space that has been contested by different countries; as a laboratory accessible to all scientists; as a ‘global common’ to be managed by the international community; and as a ‘planetary common’ that is vital to many of Earth’s ecosystems and physical processes.

What can I learn about coral bleaching? Got five minutes for the Reef? Following National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA)'s @noaa mass coral beaching announcement this week, there have been many questions about coral bleaching. Watch this video, where we partner with Australian Institute of Marine Science, to discuss the science of coral bleaching, and how it can be managed. For further information about coral bleaching, head to: https://bit.ly/441tIKs

The massive 6.4 acre area stretches from Miami, Florida up to Charleston, South Carolina. According to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) this is an area larger than the state of Vermont. The findings were described in a study published January 12 in the journal Geomatics.

Interesting read in this Bloomberg article, with G. Mark Miller weighing in on this conversation of using superyachts for ocean research. What do you think about this idea? Is it a good solution to the shortage of affordable research and mission vessels available when and where they are needed? See what our CEO has to say in the full article -
