--and this number is so low due to microbes in the ocean sediments consuming some 60-90 percent of the methane that would otherwise escape.
The ocean contains vast amounts of methane which has long been a concern to scientists.
It accumulates in an underground cave system and flows into the ocean unused. For several years now KIT scientists in cooperation with German industry partners have developed simple technologies to extract
Findings from the new study will be published Oct 8 in the journal Proceedings of the Royal Society B. Discovering the role that these invisible polymers play in disease transmission in the ocean is a tremendous step forward in helping us better understand

Environmental groups and marine biologists have expressed concerns about the use of air guns for contributing to noise pollution in the ocean that can disturb
Ambient seismicity As ocean waves collide with one another, they create pressures on the sea floor, where they generate seismic waves that then propagate in every direction.
the technology was intended originally for deployment on an Autonomous Underwater Vehicle platform as part of a project to map the dynamic microbial diversity in the world oceans.

"The Earth's atmosphere is sampled radically under at present especially over the oceans which cover 70%of the Earth's surface.
#Ruptured pipeline spills 79k litres of oil along California coast A broken pipeline spilled 21,000 gallons (79,500 litres) of crude oil into the ocean before it was shut off Tuesday,
Authorities responding to reports of a foul smell near Refugio State Beach around noon found an 800-metre slick already formed in the ocean, Santa barbara County Fire Capt.
and into a storm drain that empties into the ocean. The pipeline was shut off about three hours later but by then the slick stretched 45 metres into the water.
and the culvert carrying the oil to the ocean was blocked.""Plains deeply regrets this release has occurred

#Biomimicry Wave Energy Device Ready To Leave The Nest A new bio-inspired method of harvesting energy from the ocean has completed its shakedown on land,
The Biowave wave energy device was inspired by the way that kelp sways and pivots with the movement of ocean swell waves.
which makes NASA's ocean and climate data accessible and meaningful. Memex would make PDF documents more easily searchable

As Don Cheadle noted in the ever-relevant Ocean's 11, this new weapon"is a bomb--but without the bomb."
The proteins that mussels use to latch onto rocks, ships and jetties in the face of crashing ocean waves has been the focus of much research in this area.
#Synthetic material mimics coral's ocean-cleaning attributes Researchers from China's Anhui Jianzhu University have developed a synthetic substance that mimics coral's ability to collect harmful heavy metals from water.
you can alternatively power the lamp simply by scooping up ocean water. The salinity of ocean water is high enough to operate the lamp for about 8 hours at a time.
This makes the device particularly useful for the 44 percent of the world's population that lives near the coast.
This technology can turn the ocean into their power source, providing lighting without the need for an electric grid.
ocean-dwelling bacterium and an organism useful for creating products used by people every day. The engineered bacterium not only accumulated this fatty acid
"you need to look into the catastrophic environmental destruction tied to ocean water desalination. Not only does desalination use fossil fuels
the desalination process itself pollutes the ocean with high concentration salt brine that kills marine ecosystems
After that the aircraft will operate at five locations in so called orbits of four aircraft providing the US with constant global coverage of the oceans.

an even larger version of the device will go into the ocean in 2017. Though this is the first,
000 grams of ocean water to keep it powered, taking the device a few hours to recharge.
According to World Ocean Review, the global potential of wave energy is estimated to be around 11,400 TWH per year,
Coastal oceans affected by suspended sediment tend to overlap critical fish habitats and nurseries. The research highlights the need for the continued protection of these crucial habitats.
Scientists thought the iron had entered the ocean from hot, mineral-rich water released at mid-ocean vents that then precipitated to the ocean floor.
Now Johnson and Li who is currently at Nanjing University in China, show that half of the iron in banded iron was metabolized by ancient bacteria living along the continental shelves.
"and local counties are exploring how to desalinate ocean water to replenish water supplies. Some enterprising individuals are even proposing to revive old plans to tow icebergs
not only in the marine food web but also in altering the quantity of methane released to the ocean surface and, potentially, in the overall chemistry of the ocean.
and how resilient these ecosystems may be in the face of ocean change. Studying the microscopic planktonic larval stages of these animals may shed light on many of these processes.
and within five meters of any desired point or pattern of points in more than 95 percent of the world oceans, Kaiser said. his could revolutionize how we sample not only larvae
