Using a new, higher-resolution climate model simulation, scientists from Utrecht ľ¹Ï¸£ÀûÓ°ÊÓ 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).

De ijskap kan dan tot bijna 1 cm per jaar gaan bijdragen aan de wereldwijde zeespiegelstijging.

A remarkable paper was published in the Journal of Fluid Mechanics. The title explicitly contains the name of IMAU colleague Leo Maas.

Erik van Sebille’s inaugural lecture as Professor of Oceanography & Public Engagement is now available online. Van Sebille is a renowned oceanographer and climate scientist with a focus on how ocean currents transport plastic, heat, marine organisms, and nutrients.

'I realized that people like me could find a place in the humanitarian sector.'

The report shows that crucial tipping points in the Earth's climate system are getting closer. From Utrecht ľ¹Ï¸£ÀûÓ°ÊÓ, several climate scientists contributed.

Two researchers at IMAU, Utrecht ľ¹Ï¸£ÀûÓ°ÊÓ have been awarded a fellowship, the prestigious Marie SkÅ‚odowska-Curie Actions (MSCA) Fellowship and the Netherlands eScience Fellowship.

This new insight results from calculations with a computer model that includes a record number of measurements and observations.

Several hundred million kg of Dutch plastic waste remain off the radar. That applies to both plastic waste within the Netherlands and Dutch plastic waste that is exported to other countries.

Het leven in zeeën en oceanen staat onder druk doordat het zuurstofgehalte daalt. Herstel gaat uiterst langzaam, schrijft oceaanonderzoeker Caroline Slomp.
