Plastics recycling The role of plastic recycling companies in reducing ocean pollution Understanding the problem: What is ocean pollution and why it matters Oceans are essential for life on Earth and play a vital role in regulating the global climate. ...
Introduction Dredging is a key operation in various industrial sectors, from mining to port maintenance. Although the technical action is the same - removing materials from the bottom of a water body - the objectives and operational methods change radically. On one hand, port dredging aims to ensure the navigability and efficiency of maritime infrastructure; on the other hand, mining dredging ...
Nestled in the heart of East Africa, the African Great Lakes region boasts a collection of stunning natural wonders that have captivated explorers, scientists, and nature enthusiasts for centuries. Among these magnificent freshwater bodies, Lake Victoria, Lake Albert, and Lake Kyoga stand out as three prominent jewels, each with unique characteristics and significance. These resource lakes ...
Atmospheric NO and NOy monitoring during in-flight research missions has become an essential tool for understanding the complex chemistry of the upper troposphere and lower stratosphere. The ECO PHYSICS CLD780TR analyzer plays a crucial role in these measurements, offering high precision and reliability for airborne applications. ...
The Sargasso Sea is a portion of the Atlantic Ocean well-defined not by land boundaries but by ocean currents (on the west by the Gulf Stream, on the north by the North Atlantic Current, on the east by the Canary Current, and on the south by the North Atlantic Equatorial Current). ...
Climate change is also altering the mechanics of surface ocean currents, making them faster and thinner, affecting the transport of nutrients needed by different marine organisms and micro-organisms. Faster currents may also affect how the ocean removes carbon and heat from the atmosphere and protects the planet from excessive ...
Most of us have heard the unsettling estimation on the state of the ocean plastic crisis: by 2050, there may be more plastic than fish in our seas. Gathering and recycling plastic from the ocean is necessary to prevent further damage to the environment and wildlife. How did we end up with an ocean plastic crisis in the first place? And how could the plastic recycling industry and new recycling ...

Since the aftermath of World War I and II, the North and Baltic Seas have been littered with thousands of ship and aircraft wrecks, housing a deadly cargo of conventional munition and agents of chemical ...
The buoys also measure profiles of ocean currents and turbulence. "The goal of the buoys is to predict, in real-time, the instantaneous wave height at the offshore asset which can lead to more accurate load calculations," Kanner said. The project partners will reconstruct the ocean wave field, mapping waves as they propagate and evolve towards ...
Zandvoort, where the wave was observed,. there are two WERA (WavE RAdar) ocean. radar systems, at Monster and Ouddorp. (Figure 1). These systems are owned by. ...
Whilst the Paris Agreement has been praised for its progressive steps towards the unification of the world’s leaders in action against the negative result of anthropogenic activity on the climate, it has also been criticised for its failure to determine legally enforced action as opposed to ‘promises’.Following research which charts the potential impacts of climate change on the ...
When those tires have been dumped into the ocean to form an artificial reef, all those chemicals go straight into the water, making it uninhabitable for most forms of sea life. Individual tires can also occasionally break loose, get caught up in the ocean’s currents, and go crashing through living coral in real reefs. ...
To fulfill its mission to “continually improve the Port of Rotterdam and to make it the safest, most efficient and most sustainable port in the world“, Rijkswaterstaat, part of the Ministry of Infrastructure and Environment, decided in 2014 to improve the quality and reliability of the ocean current forecasting. The forecasting is based on a ...
(Public domain.) The new review concludes that current warming of ocean waters is likely causing gas hydrate deposits to break down at some locations. ...
Some locations experience greater rise than others because of local terrain, local hydrological factors, and oceanic currents, among other regional factors. Unfortunately, many large cities are located on coastlines that are particularly vulnerable to sea level rises. ...
Ocean-energy technologies — which harvest renewable energy from the sea — will have a significant role to play in a future low-carbon society. ...
Reengineering the global economy — from one characterized by carbon pollution and deforestation to one characterized by clean energy and the preservation of forests and oceans — is feasible with current technology but will require additional, concrete action from all levels of government as well as the private sector. ...
