'It is a great job, acting as coordinator between the forecasters/users, the developer Deltares and the ICT people at Rijkswaterstaat.'

Does the ocean belong to humanity? To states? Or does the ocean belong to itself? The “Whose Ocean?” project received an Incubator Grant to explore this question and understand its significance.

How do plastic items move through the Wadden Sea? To answer that question, the OceanParcels team went on two expeditions to deploy 24 Stokes drifters.

Zeewierwouden transporteren jaarlijks gemiddeld 56 miljoen ton koolstof naar de diepten van de oceaan

The world’s seaweed forests transport 56 million tonnes of carbon (between 10 to 170 million tonnes) to deep ocean sinks each year.

Van Sebille develops software that models ocean currents and can therefore map out the journey of plastic waste in the oceans.

On Faces of Science, young scientists publish blogs and videos about their research and daily life as a researcher.

Met behulp van een nieuwe klimaatmodelsimulatie met een hogere resolutie ontdekten wetenschappers van de Universiteit Utrecht dat de oceaantemperatuur veel langzamer stijgt dan voorspeld door de huidige simulaties.

Using a new, higher-resolution climate model simulation, scientists from Utrecht ľ�ϸ���Ӱ�� found a much slower ocean temperature increase compared to current simulations.

A new tool to share data about plastic pollution in the ocean has won this year’s edition of the Blue-Cloud Hackathon. The team, led by Delphine Lobelle, wins a €25.000 cash prize.

Patterns appear to allow ecosystems to evade tipping points.

Utrecht researchers have fully mapped out how much litter is washed up from the sea onto Dutch beaches, under which conditions it washes ashore and from where it originates.

Het oplopen van CO2-concentraties in de lucht en het verder opwarmen van de aarde kunnen leiden tot een omwenteling van de dominante planktonsoort in de oceanen.

Increasing concentration of CO2 and global warming could lead to a shift of the dominant plankton population in the ocean.

Over his long and eminent career, Will de Ruijter has made landmark contributions on a broad range of topics, including the dynamics of currents and fronts in the Dutch coastal zone and, in particular, the Agulhas Current system off South Africa.

On 3 January, Climate Physics master student Dennis Vermeulen embarked the Norwegian tall ship Statsraad Lehmkuhl to participate in ESA’s Advanced Ocean Training Course 2023 (OTC23).
