Climate-related sea level changes near the coast may deviate from what we observe in the open ocean. In effect, coastal changes result from the superposition of the global mean sea level rise, regiona...

The latest Met Office ‘State of the UK Climate’ report has been released today (15th July 2026), demonstrating that climate extremes are becoming the new ‘normal’ for the UK.

On the North Western European Shelf, increased sea-level reduces seabed exposure to ocean waves and currents, while climate change increases storm intensity, leading to more frequent periodic disturba...

Navigating interdisciplinary coastal research in the UK: Challenges and solutions from an early career perspective - Volume 4

Dear all,  We are currently advertising an exciting PhD project opportunity on “Heat, Freshwater and Oxygen Budgets in the Eastern Subpolar North Atlantic: Implications for UK continental shelf and Eu...

Nitrogen fixation occurs under Arctic sea ice and is positively correlated with primary production, according to analyses of transects across the marginal ice zone and in the Central Arctic Ocean.

In 2010 CryoSat embarked on a mission to investigate Earth’s icy zones but, during its 15 years in orbit, the satellite has gone beyond ice monitoring to deliver unprecedented insight into the dynamic...

Understanding future ocean conditions at regional scales is critical for climate adaptation and informed policy-making. While global climate models provide ocean state projections (IPCC-CMIP6) and sea...

New human-made structures in areas with stronger residual current flow in the northern North Sea could improve larval connectivity, while existing structures serve as interchanges between intermittent...

The North Atlantic Current (NAC) volume transport variability was strong at 16–120-day periods associated with the mesoscale activity in the Iceland Basin High volume transport coincided with the...

Elevated turbulent kinetic energy dissipation rates were found near the seabed and at mid-depths in the DIS outflow region Overturning instabilities associated with the outflow current result in ...

North Atlantic sea surface temperature influences hydrology in the United Kingdom up to 1.5 years in advance via a teleconnection with the position of the North Atlantic Current, which can help with d...

The cold anomaly is quantified as marine cold spells and Fresh Waves cycling between cool/fresh and warm/saline conditions since 1980s The 2014–16 cold anomaly, a widespread and prolonged event, ...
