A First Look at How Sand Behaves Inside a Rippled Bed

by Ryan P. Mulligan 11 September 202511 September 2025

A detailed numerical model shows how sediment particles experience wave-driven shear stress inside and above a sea bed with sand ripples.

Four warmly dressed scientists stand around a large metal rig taller than them that is drilling a hole into the ice they are standing on. More scientists stand in the background, and a crane is stretched over the metal rig, lowering a cable into the hole.

How Greenland’s Glacial Troughs Influence Ocean Circulation

Aaron Sidder, freelance science writer by Aaron Sidder 29 May 202529 May 2025

Glacial troughs in Antarctica promote mixing of warm and cold water, affecting global climate. A new study explores whether the same is true in troughs along Greenland’s coastline.

Seaweed Surges May Alter Arctic Fjord Carbon Dynamics

Sarah Stanley, Science Writer by Sarah Stanley 16 May 202516 May 2025

Climate change–accelerated seaweed growth could cause seaweed-dependent microbes to proliferate and consume more oxygen, leading to a rise in oxygen-starved zones.

The Uncertain Fate of the Beaufort Gyre

by Saima May Sidik 13 May 202513 May 2025

Climate models produce widely varying predictions for what will happen to this influential ocean current, but most models predict it will weaken or stop.
