For the first time in 40 Years, #Panama's deep and cold #ocean waters fail to emerge
During the dry season in Central America (December-April), northern trade winds generate upwelling events in the ocean waters of the Gulf of Panama. Upwelling is a process that allows cold, nutrient-rich waters from the depths of the ocean to rise to the surface. However, researchers recently recorded that in #2025, this vital #oceanographic process did not occur for the first time.

For the first time in 40 Years, Panama's deep and cold ocean waters fail to emerge

The natural phenomenon of upwelling, which occurs annually in the Gulf of Panama, failed for the first time on record in 2025. A study led by scientists from the Smithsonian Tropical Research Institute (STRI) indicates that the weakening of the trade winds was the cause of this event. This finding highlights the climate's impact on fundamental oceanic processes and the coastal communities that depend on them.

Experiment will attempt to counter #climatechange by altering #ocean
“If we really want to have a shot at mitigating the worst effects of climate change, #carbon removal needs to start scaling to the point where it can supplement large-scale #emissions reductions,” said Adam Subhas, an associate scientist in marine #chemistry and #geochemistry at the #WoodsHole #Oceanographic Institution (#WHOI), who will oversee the week-long experiment.

FLIP has been saved! The #Scripps #ship was scheduled to be scrapped, but UK undersea design company #DEEP has bought this ship, and it is being refitted to modernize power and other now outdated features.

The iconic, and frankly rather strange, #research platform built in 1962 was designed to be towed to a location and would be partially sunk to "flip" it along its main axis. This design made it very stable in the water column for #oceanographic #science research.

Flipping FLIP ship saved from scrapyard at last minute

The US Navy and Scripps Institution of Oceanography's unique FLoating Instrument Platform (FLIP) has been saved at the last minute from the breaker's yard. Scheduled to be scrapped in Mexico, it was purchased by undersea design company DEEP.

Cabled undersea moorings provide valuable continuous measures of conditions within the water. Ocean Networks Canada (a major collaborator with DFO) has partnered with the Spanish National Research Council station in #Antarctica to measure #oceanographic conditions in the nearshore off the South Shetlands archipelago. This will help track changes due to glacier melt and the ocean currents so important to #climate.

A cache of scientific equipment that could fit in the back of an SUV has been lowered into the sea north of the Antarctic Peninsula, and is already streaming open-source data for anyone wanting to monitor the Southern Ocean's health.

Rare long-distance dispersal events help maintain genetic structure of mangroves

A study combining genetic analysis and oceanographic simulations showed that a species of mangrove rarely disperses very far, so that North and South Brazil have two distinct populations. The results can help prioritize conservation units and understand global patterns in mangrove forest formation.

A look back at the DRASTIC low-carbon oceanographic cruise:

A #LowCarbon #oceanographic cruise with @lemarlab #scientists aboard an old sailing ship off the coast of #Norway.

The project aims were to gain a better understanding of #marine #environmental changes at high latitudes and their consequences for the fate of #planktonic siliceous organisms.
