The ships are built to commercial standards, [1] and NOAA describes them as "state-of-the-art" [1] and designed to support a wide variety of scientific missions, with a capability of conducting general oceanographic research and exploration as well as more specific studies of marine life, the oceanic climate, and ocean ecosystems.

The Ocean Census Bounty Trough research expedition was a research expedition undertaken in 2024 and organised by Ocean Census, along with scientists from the National Institute of Water and Atmospheric Research and Te Papa, to research the biodiversity of the Bounty Trough. [1] [2] [3] Sadie Mills and Alex Rogers were the co-leaders of the ...
Drawing on the latest scientific knowledge, this chapter explains the relationships between CO 2 uptake by the ocean, climate change and the associated risks to the ocean ecosystem. Oxygen depletion, ocean acidification , sea-level rise and the loss of marine biodiversity as a consequence of climate warming are also explained.
The Marine Ecosystem Assessment for the Southern Ocean (MEASO) is a collaborative initiative launched in 2018, involving more than 200 scientists from 19 countries, with diverse representation, striving to comprehensively evaluate the status and changes in Southern Ocean ecosystems and the underlying factors driving these transformations.
The Scientific Committee on Oceanic Research (SCOR) is an interdisciplinary body of the International Science Council. [1] SCOR was established in 1957, coincident with the International Geophysical Year of 1957-1958. It sought to bring scientists together to answer key ocean science questions and improve opportunities for marginalised ...
The scientific scope of IODP is laid out in the program's science plan, Illuminating Earth's Past, Present, and Future.The science plan covers a 10-year period of operations and consists of a list of scientific challenges that are organized into four themes called Climate and Ocean Change, Biosphere Frontiers, Earth Connections, and Earth in Motion.
Argo is an international programme for researching the ocean. It uses profiling floats to observe temperature, salinity and currents. Recently it has observed bio-optical properties in the Earth's oceans. It has been operating since the early 2000s. The real-time data it provides support climate and oceanographic research.
As volcanic activity produces new oceanic crust along the ridge, the two plates diverge from each other pulling up the new ocean floor from below the crust. [31] [32] [33] Along the ocean-continent border of the tectonic plates, the oceanic plates subduct underneath the continental plates, creating some of the deepest marine trenches in the world
