In cooperation with EvoLogics and the Scientific Diving Center (SDC) team of Technische Univer
Long-term observations indicate that the oxygen minimum zones in the tropical oceans have expanded in recent decades. The reason is still unknown. The scientists at the GEOMAR Helmholtz Centre for Ocean Research Kiel and the Collaborative Research Centre 754 “Climate – Biogeochemical Interactions in
Subsea World News has put together a recap of the most interesting articles from the previous week (December 15 – December 21).

Two new publications in the series “Scottish Marine and Freshwater Science” are released this week providing new spatial data adding to the evidence base for the development of marine planning in Scottish waters. The first, published today by scientists from the Marine Planning and Environmental Adv
Dynamic Tidal Power is based on the principle that tides don’t operate strictly horizontally but also flow in parallel to the shore as well, which allows a type of barrage to be built perpendicular to the shore. Dynamic Tidal Power (DTP) is a way to use the natural tides for generating sustainable e
