Carbonate Melting Enhances Mantle CO2 Fluxes in Old Ocean Basins

by S. D. Jacobsen 17 August 20184 August 2023

The amount of CO2 segregated from the mantle by carbonate melting beneath old oceanic crust may equal that emitted along the mid-ocean ridge system, thereby contributing to the global carbon cycle.

High-Altitude “Wind Walls” Discovered near Magnetic Poles

Sarah Stanley, Science Writer by Sarah Stanley 14 August 201814 February 2022

Satellite imaging reveals two narrow channels of extreme winds surrounded by gentle opposing flow 140–250 kilometers above sea level.

Greenland Basal Melting May Be Considerably Less Than We Think

by J. Stroeve 2 August 201811 January 2022

New observations of surface ice velocity over northern Greenland challenge current assumptions used in ice sheet models to model the deformation mechanisms that govern ice flow.

Scraping Bottom: Iceberg Scours Reveal North Atlantic Currents

by Terri Cook 1 August 20183 July 2023

A 3-D seismic analysis of Pleistocene iceberg gouges indicates that surface currents in the Norwegian Sea flowed northward and remained consistent during numerous glacial cycles.

New research suggests that the movement of Europa’s ice crusts could be a sign of life.

Energetics of Western Boundary Current Surface Flows Are Similar

by J. Sprintall 31 July 201822 July 2022

Despite different wind forcing and air-sea heating conditions, the surface layer energetics of two Western Boundary Current systems in different ocean basins are surprisingly similar.

How Are Sediment Pulses Generated?

by Terri Cook 24 July 201824 February 2023

A new long-term flume experiment shows that bed load gravel travels downstream in recurring, 10-hour pulses even when water flow and sediment supply are constant.

Nutrients May Change Flavor of “Meadow Tea” in Lakes

by Rose Cory 6 July 201821 March 2022

Lakes in the US and Europe have been getting more tea-colored over the past 30 years, and this “browning” trend may increase nutrient levels and affect lake water quality.
