The world's peak ocean science body has adopted a new definition of seawater developed by Australian, German and US scientists to make climate projections more accurate. http://www.physorg.com/news167319012.html Space & Earth Mon, 20 Jul 2009 15:00:01 EST news167319012 (PhysOrg.com) -- We know that average sea levels have risen over the past century, and that global warming is to blame. But what is climate change doing to the saltiness, or salinity, of our oceans? http://www.physorg.com/news160410249.html Space & Earth Fri, 01 May 2009 15:24:41 EST news160410249 Scientists are celebrating the first successful deployment and retrieval in Australia of a remotely controlled, deep ocean-going robotic submarine destined to play a central role in measuring changes in two of Australia's most influential ocean currents. http://www.physorg.com/news159109865.html Space & Earth Thu, 16 Apr 2009 14:12:19 EST news159109865 (PhysOrg.com) -- New England lobstermen have gone high tech by adding low-cost instruments to their lobster pots that record bottom temperature and provide data that could help improve ocean circulation models in the Gulf of Maine. http://www.physorg.com/news155818404.html Space & Earth Mon, 09 Mar 2009 11:54:16 EST news155818404 NASA researchers who developed a new way to power robotic underwater vehicles believe a spin-off technology could help convert ocean energy into electrical energy on a much larger scale. The researchers hope that clean, renewable energy produced from the motion of the ocean and rivers could potentially meet an important part of the world's demand for electricity. http://www.physorg.com/news155572999.html Technology Fri, 06 Mar 2009 14:44:29 EST news155572999 A possible solution to global warming may be further away than ever, according to a new report published in the prestigious scientific journal Nature this week. http://www.physorg.com/news152372775.html Space & Earth Wed, 28 Jan 2009 13:46:44 EST news152372775 (PhysOrg.com) -- In recent years, public discussion of climate change has included concerns that increased levels of carbon dioxide will contribute to global warming, which in turn may change the circulation in the earth's oceans, with potentially disastrous consequences. http://www.physorg.com/news142260761.html Space & Earth Fri, 03 Oct 2008 13:52:41 EST news142260761
