Thanks to carbon emissions, the ocean is changing, and that is putting a whole host of marine organisms at risk. These scientists are on the front lines. Eric Niiler | National Geographic Grace Saba steadies herself on the back of a gently rocking boat as she and her crew slide a six-foot long yellow torpedo […]
Cold weather and ice did not prevent the Rutgers RUCOOL team from deploying the pHOxy lady, our autonomous underwater glider that measures pH and dissolved oxygen, on Friday, February 1, 2019. This glider is focused on observing ocean acidification processes in important commercial fisheries habitats in the Mid-Atlantic region. For this mission, the glider will […]
