Rogue or freak waves (monster waves) are exceptionally large waves that can suddenly loom into existence, seemingly from nowhere. Are these waves truly different from ordinary storm waves, or are they just what you should expect to see if you wait long enough?
Coral reefs produce a lot of oxygen during the day (thanks to photosynthesis), but at night the oxygen levels decrease. Can this threaten fishes at the reef, or do they have strategies to survive? To find out we spent six months of fieldwork and experiments on the island of Moorea in French Polynesia.
The Antarctic ice shelves – the floating glaciers surrounding most of the continent – are melting from below as oceanic currents bring warm water into the cavity. But how and how fast is the ice melting? In this Ocean Science Bar, you will learn why Antarctic ice shelves matter, about what happens below them, and about what it’s like to do fieldwork ”down south”.
Light is probably the most varying environmental variable in pelagic ecosystems, and the most ignored in ecological studies. In this Ocean Science Bar, you will learn how light structures the distribution of zooplankton and fish.
