Scripps Institution of Oceanography

The Scripps Institution of Oceanography (sometimes referred to as SIO, Scripps Oceanography, or Scripps) in La Jolla, California, founded in 1903, is one of the oldest and largest centers for ocean and Earth science research, public service, undergraduate and graduate training in the world

Direct air capture needs investment to be a real force in meeting the climate change challenge

How coral reefs recover after bleaching

Imaging and 3D structuring software helps Scripps researchers observe coral reef changes in Palmyra Atoll Researchers at Scripps Institution of Oceanography and engineers at UC San Diego have used new imaging software to detect dramatic recovery after a bleaching event on the reefs surrounding remote Palmyra Atoll in the tropical Pacific. The research was published

A hydrogen-powered research vessel is technically and economically feasible

Sandia-led team designs zero-emissions marine research vessel Marine research could soon be possible without the risk of polluting either the air or the ocean. It’s thanks to a new ship design and feasibility study led by Sandia National Laboratories. Hydrogen fuel cells have existed for decades, and there are multiple advantages to using them instead

The amount of water in the open ocean with zero oxygen has gone up more than fourfold in 50 years

In broadest view yet of world’s low oxygen, scientists reveal dangers and solutions In the past 50 years, the amount of water in the open ocean with zero oxygen has gone up more than fourfold. In coastal water bodies, including estuaries and seas, low-oxygen sites have increased more than 10-fold since 1950. Scientists expect oxygen

Swarm sensing robots for ocean exploration and protection

Scripps researchers collaborate on new technology study using “robotic plankton” Underwater robots developed by researchers at Scripps Institution of Oceanography at the University of California San Diego offer scientists an extraordinary new tool to study ocean currents and the tiny creatures they transport. Swarms of these underwater robots helped answer some basic questions about the

Deep ocean needs policy, stewardship where it never existed

“We’re really in the dark when it comes to the ecology of the deep sea,” Technological advances have made the extraction of deep sea mineral and precious metal deposits feasible, and the dwindling supply of land-based materials creates compelling economic incentives for deep sea industrialization. But at what cost? “We’re really in the dark when

Scripps Oceanography Researchers Engineer Breakthrough for Biofuel Production

Prospects for economic and sustainable fuel alternative enhanced with discovery Researchers at Scripps Institution of Oceanography at UC San Diego have developed a method for greatly enhancing biofuel production in tiny marine algae. As reported in this week’s online edition of the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, Scripps graduate student Emily Trentacoste led the development

Disappearance of Coral Reefs, Drastically Altered Marine Food Web on the Horizon

If current climate trends follow historical precedent, ocean ecosystems will be in state of flux for next 10,000 years, according to Scripps Oceanography researchers If history’s closest analog is any indication, the look of the oceans will change drastically in the future as the coming greenhouse world alters marine food webs and gives certain species

Rate of Temperature Change Along World’s Coastlines has Itself Changed Dramatically Over the Past Three Decades

Locally, changes in coastal ocean temperatures may be much more extreme than global averages imply. New research published in the June 18 edition of Public Library of Science (PLoS ONE) entitled “Decadal Changes in the World’s Coastal Latitudinal Temperature Gradients,” is highlighting some of the distinct regional implications associated with global climate-change. By looking at changes in

Friendly Wave-Powered Robots Now Working For Oil And Gas Companies

Liquid Robotics Oil & Gas will also do plenty of good The adorable boats of Liquid Robotics have served as important research tools for people studying the ocean and the environment. Now they’re being employed in a less cuddly mission: helping search out sites for offshore drilling. Ambitious projects–like creating a fleet of autonomous, wave-powered

20,000 colleagues under the sea

Fleets of robot submarines will change oceanography SAILING the seven seas is old hat. The latest trick is to glide them. Sea gliders are small unmanned vessels which are now cruising the briny by the hundred. They use a minuscule amount of power, so they can stay out for months. And, being submarines, they are

How to Buy Time in the Fight against Climate Change

A short list of relatively simple actions A short list of relatively simple actions taken to reduce greenhouse gases other than CO2 could help put the brakes on global warming–if implemented globally. Humanity has done little to address climate change. Global emissions of carbon dioxide reached (another) all-time peak in 2010. The most recent
