Operational Oceanography

A new report from the US suggests ocean decline will present economic risks for multiple industries, including energy, tourism and shipping.

A new interactive report emphasises that oceans remain under-observed with 15 times fewer data points collected from over sea than land

The increasing severity and frequency of storms – and so-called rogue waves – pose a serious threat to shipping

The maritime and marine industries stand at a critical juncture as we approach the new year.

Extreme weather change and sea level rises are severely impacting the lives of those at sea.

‘Oceans of Opportunity: A Change of Tide’ will be shown at IMarEST’s annual prestigious event, with Jo Ruxton MBE hosting.

Niru Dorrian reveals how he intends to help reverse ocean health decline by 2030.

Sea level rise is a looming threat, and scientists are proposing an under-explored approach – fortifying the coast with electricity.

Five-year research project heading to South Africa, New Zealand, and the Antarctic.

Data collection is set to take off as a 1,000-strong fleet of autonomous vessels is set for deployment over the next ten years.

The 1.4 million kilometres of undersea cables that transit the globe, enabling modern communications, could be key to unlocking more data about our blue planet.

With funding from Scottish Enterprise and Innovate UK, one company is taking advantage in an attempt to reduce emissions.

We catch up with David Millar, Government Accounts Director at Fugro, on why the private sector is key to reversing our ocean’s decline.

We may all live on the blue planet, but there is still a lack of knowledge about the ocean despite Seabed 2030’s best efforts.

Data fuels our world, feeding the algorithms that power our connected lives. But when it comes to oceans, we are sometimes flying blind.

As the climate crisis becomes more urgent, a team of scientists are looking at the potential of deep ocean faults to store CO2 in the Atlantic.

When it comes to the climate crisis, carbon dioxide (CO2) is the headline villain. But methane (CH4), which accounts for around 30% of the rise in global temperatures since the industrial revolution, is also worrying ocean scientists.

In the UK and across the world, coasts are being squeezed by the dual pressures of newly built developments and sea level rise, say researchers.

We speak to IMarEST’s first Ocean Decade Ambassador – and incoming IMarEST President Elect – Stephen de Mora about the recent UN Ocean Decade Conference.

In New South Wales, Australia, research has turned into action to reduce the damage caused by anchoring.

New microfluidic mapping technology developed by UK researchers will inform on ocean health and contribute to algal biofuel knowledge.

It is with great pleasure that the Institute of Marine Engineering, Science & Technology (IMarEST) announces the 2022, 2021 and 2020 winners of the Denny Silver Gilt Medal.

Seabed 2030 is the ambitious project aiming to map the entire ocean floor. Amy McLellan finds out why it’s so important to maritime, and all of us.

Rising temperatures and ice melt are pressuring the Arctic environment, as well as opening up new shipping routes in the far north.

The last week has seen a multitude of scientific activities taking place across the UK, inspiring thousands of people to engage with science for British Science Week (BSW).
