On this episode of Blue Wilderness, Mark answers some of your most burning questions about the Blue Wilderness adventures! Such as.. what is a Remora, and why are they always hanging out around sharks?!

Researchers found that ingesting just one piece of plastic could increase the chance of a sea turtle to die by 22 percent, according to a study published in the Scientific Reports.

What was the original link between the military and climate science?

When people started using large nets to capture tuna in the 1960s, many spotted dolphins were killed because they were found living with tuna. Scientists responded by sending “observers” on tuna boats to keep track of the number of...

The bowhead whale lives its entire life - which amazingly can span over 200 years - in the frigid Arctic waters near the North Pole. The bowhead whale is unlike most other whales as it doesn’t seasonally migrate in search of warmer...

This video explores the complex workings of Earth's climate and how it is changing due to factors such as greenhouse gases and ocean currents. Using virtual tools and satellite data, scientists are predicting the future evolution of the...

Ocean Acoustics | Ocean Literacy | FuseSchool Sometimes the earth is so noisy... roads, aeroplanes, volcanoes, construction work... but have you ever thought about how noisy it must be underwater for the poor marine life that cannot...

A new design for insulin that’s easy to swallow, deep-sea surprise game changer for climate, catching reefs on the flip side, and the physics of how bees chill. For more info: Insulin Pill...

A project jointly funded by NASA and the National Science Foundation is heading west from Seattle, straight for the twilight zone. Using two research vessels, the Export Processes in the Ocean from Remote Sensing (EXPORTS) oceanographic...

A whale inhales and exhales air through the blowhole at the top of its head. The plume that rises when the whale exhales is made up of blow, a scientific term for whale snot. Whale snot can reveal important information about whale...

Engineers investigating impact of krill swarms on ocean mixing, and possibly global climate Scientists have long chalked up ocean mixing of salt, heat, nutrients and gases, such as oxygen and carbon dioxide, to wind and tides. New...

When you think of NASA, you might think of all the incredible mysteries of outer space. But we’re also pretty invested in another very special place … our home. In this episode, join us as we celebrate all the ways NASA keeps an eye on...

After passing its last critical design review in February 2020, PACE has entered its integration and testing phase of development. PACE's primary sensor, the Ocean Color Instrument (OCI), is a highly advanced optical spectrometer that...

This animated science video lesson is all about Ocean and Climate. Students will love this engaging and interactive video as they learn more about and study oceans.

New evidence suggests that 1.5 billion years ago, the Earth was covered by a vast ocean and had no continents.

This video highlights the impact of ocean warming and acidification on coral reefs, which are crucial ecosystems supporting marine life and providing coastal protection. Climate Change part 3/4

Where does the carbon in the atmosphere come from?

Scientists have observed some copepods eating over 300,000 diatoms in a single day!

Tasty, AND healthy. Fish is the holy grail of food and also a symbol of prosperity and luck. But with talk of containing heavy metals and other contaminants, are fish really any good for us? Today, we go in hook, line and sinker and...

Jeremy Werdell is studying how microscopic plankton in the oceans are responding to our changing climate. As a scientist at NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center, he knows that Earth's oceans and land cover have been doing us a favor. As...

The surface of Venus is completely inhospitable for life: barren, dry, crushed under an atmosphere about 90 times the pressure of Earth’s and roasted by temperatures two times hotter than an oven. But was it always that way? Could Venus...

NASA's Oceans Melting Greenland (OMG) mission uses ships and planes to measure how ocean temperatures affect Greenland's vast icy expanses. Jakobshavn Glacier, known in Greenlandic as Sermeq Kujalle, on Greenland's central western side,...

Explore the fascinating phenomenon of tides and how they are influenced by the gravitational forces of the moon and the sun. We learn how ancient civilizations accurately predicted tides and how this knowledge continues to be crucial for...

For decades, planetary scientists have suspected that ancient Mars was a much warmer, wetter environment than it is today, but estimates of just how much water Mars has lost since its formation vary widely. Now, new isotopic measurements...
