James Michael Grimes survived nearly 20 hours in the open sea after falling overboard from a cruise ship. An expert told Insider the main concerns of someone adrift in the ocean and how to deal with them. Not panicking, trying to find floating objects and giving a signal can help you survive.

Newswise – In vast oceans, one would assume that their inhabitants can travel very far and therefore populations of a species would mix freely. But that doesn’t seem to be the case for a vital forage fish called the sandeel. Sandeel is a small school of fish incredibly high in lipids, making it a fantastic …

In situ mass leucine incorporation rates normalized to rates obtained under atmospheric pressure conditions. The symbols correspond to the different research expeditions. The regression equation is a power law function: Pin situ = 494z−0.321 (not= 56, number of samples incubated in situ), where Pin situis the percentage of leucine incorporation rate in situ normalized to …

By Ashley Strickland, CNN Exoplanet 55 Cancri e has many names, but the rocky world located 40 light years from Earth is the best known for its reputation as a “hellish planet”. This super-Earth, so named because it’s a rocky planet eight times more massive and twice as wide as Earth, is so hot it …

Scheme of meta-epigenome analysis of ocean surface samples. A schematic overview of meta-epigenomics. Meta-epigenomics using genome-centric metagenomics from the approach of binning short-read and long-read assemblies, followed by the identification of epigenetic signals of genomes from long-read mapping.

The data overwhelmingly confirms that rising greenhouse gas emissions are locking us into a scenario of destructive climate chaos, motivating scientists and corporations to invent ambitious carbon capture solutions. A Seafields Solutions concept seeks to make use of unlikely real estate by developing a giant seaweed farm in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean capable …

By Emily Cassidy NASA Earth Observatory– From global to regional scales, satellite images depict the dynamic beauty of the world’s oceans. Each view reveals something unique, from the seasonal pulses of life to the colorful signature of phytoplankton blooms. Almost all life in the ocean depends on tiny photosynthetic organisms known as phytoplankton. These microscopic …
Kendra MacDonald, CEO of Canada’s Oceans Supercluster, said the organization is working to grow Canada’s maritime economy fivefold by 2035. (Darrell Roberts/CBC) Climate change and ocean security are at the forefront of two new ocean technology projects led by companies based in Newfoundland and Labrador. Canada’s Ocean Supercluster, a federally-led marine industry organization, announced funding …
