As climate change worsens, scientists are hoping to more accurately monitor its effects on water temperatures and quality, lake levels, coastal erosion and algae blooms. Populations of the species, which are already endangered, are dropping off at drastic rates as climate change warms river waters across the country.

I followed with great interest the launch of the sixth assessment report Working Group 1 (The Physical Science Basis) from the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) on August 9th. The cause of our changing climate is the increase in atmospheric greenhouse gas concentrations that we have released into the air.

The ocean has absorbed nearly 33% of all greenhouse gas emissions and around 90% of the excess heat produced through climate change. It may seem like a good thing all around that the ocean is protecting us in this way, but the ocean actually pays a hefty price. Thanks for signing up for Ocean Conservancy emails.

The nice thing about this DAS technology is that it’s very, very difficult to get a traditional ocean-bottom seismometer or even hydrophones running in the Arctic environment. But now, instead of having a few ocean-bottom seismometers for a short period, we have 20,000 channels of seismic data. We hear ocean dynamics as well.

Ocean scientists and naturalists such as David Attenborough are keen to remind us often of the demise of the Great Barrier Reef and other coral reefs. Audrey Azoulay, Director-General of UNESCO added: “To date, we know the surface of the moon better than the deep ocean. By Anders Lorenzen. It was like a work of art”.

Just months be fore the crucial UN climate summit, COP26 kicks off in Glasgow, UK in November the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) has issued one of its starkest reports stating that governments have taken too long to take action and we are now paying the price. Unprecedented. What’s to come.
