A new scientific project tries to determine how much heat ocean currents deliver to the underside of the Pine Island Glacier (PIG) as it discharges into the sea.

Loggerhead turtles take almost half a century to reach maturity, say scientists.

Rising temperatures will force many species of animals and plants to move to other regions and could leave some marine species with nowhere to go, according to new research just published in the journal Science.

The Integrated Ocean Drilling Program at Texas A&M University invites applications for the position of Research Specialist with the Analytical Systems section of the Technical and Analytical Services department.

Scientists are set to begin a six-week mission to explore the Indian Ocean’s underwater mountains.

Invasive species have hitchhiked to the U.S. on cargo ships for centuries, but the method U.S. regulators most rely on to keep them out is not equally effective across coasts.

Recognizing the unique aspects of the Deepwater Horizon oil spill and the ramifications of the complex task of assessing damages through the NRDA process, Congress asked the National Research Council to examine how to evaluate the impacts of the ecological damage caused by the Deepwater Horizon oil spill.

The staff here at Ocean Leadership works hard to make certain that each week we provide you with the most useful and timely information regarding our efforts, activities of the community, news from Capitol Hill, and all opportunities, jobs and internships that we feel you might find beneficial.

A common bacteria known to cause abortions in marine mammals killed some of the hundreds of dolphins — more than 100 of them babies and fetuses — that have washed ashore in the northern Gulf of Mexico since February 2010, dolphin experts say.

After discovering an emerging crack that cuts across the floating ice shelf of Pine Island Glacier in Antarctica, NASA’s Operation IceBridge has flown a follow-up mission and made the first-ever detailed airborne measurements of a major iceberg calving in progress.

Industrial development is on the rise in ocean waters. So-called ocean spatial planning seeks to balance development and ocean protection by using science to identify the most delicate ocean areas and directing industry elsewhere.

The hagfish found in New Zealand’s deepest waters is grotesque enough, thanks to its scary protruding teeth straight from a horror film.
