📢 Advances in #MachineLearning now make it possible to integrate #SatelliteData with in situ ocean measurements to help us monitor #OceanAcidification - across the entire ocean 🌍🛰️ PML’s Prof Findlay & colleagues explore how @esa.int -funded projects are turning this data into tools for action 👇

AGU (American Geophysical Union)@agu.org · 5d ago

New advances in #MachineLearning have improved our ability to monitor #OceanAcidification. In AGU's Perspectives, scientists highlight how recent projects have helped to develop tools that make this information accessible and useful. 🔗 spklr.io/63322Eujgk #AGUPubs

What is AMOC? And what is the North Atlantic ‘cold blob’? PML’s Dr de Mora breaks down the science

The Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC) may not be a household name – and neither might the North Atlantic ‘cold blob’ – but the climate phenomenon has been making headlines acr

Widespread declines in #plankton across the North East Atlantic ⚠️ A new study has used more than six decades of data to show that plankton abundance is declining across vast swathes of the #NorthEastAtlantic. 🔗 pml.ac.uk/news/decline...

Decline in plankton across North East Atlantic sends stark warning for ocean health

A new study, involving scientists from PML, found there were no habitats assessed as being of ‘Good Environmental Status’ in a region stretching from Portugal to Norway.

All rivers lead to the sea. To protect our #ocean - we also need to look upstream. From farms and towns to rivers and coasts, the choices we make on land shape the health of our ocean. Discover our work to tackle upstream pollution:🔗 pml.ac.uk/portfolio/ma... #WorldOceansDay #Pollution

#WorldOceanDay: Thank you to Baroness Jenny Jones of Moulsecoomb, Fleur Anderson MP of Putney & Lord Cromwell (Crossbench, House of Lords) for joining us today to discuss how tackling upstream #pollution is essential for protecting #MarineProtectedAreas - and our wider ocean.

PML and colleagues from the Blue Marine Foundation and the National Oceanography Centre met with Parliamentarians in London this morning to share the latest science on 'Catchment to Coast'. The session highlighted why managing our coasts is not just a coastal issue, examining the challenges created by disconnected policy, management and research frameworks. Discussions emphasised the need for integrated land, river and coastal management, urgent action on emissions, and how local interventions can help reduce pressures such as coastal acidification. The role of nature-based solutions, long-term monitoring and robust scientific evidence was also explored, including the importance of sustained investment in programmes such as the Western Channel Observatory.

"The potential outcomes could be even more severe than projected." PML's Prof Helen Findlay writes for Monagbay explaining why uncertainty about #AMOC collapse - which is shifting due to #ClimateChange is not a reason to wait - it’s a reason to act. 🔗 news.mongabay.com/2026/06/unce...

Uncertainty about weakening Atlantic currents isn’t a reason to wait but to act (commentary)

When a scientist says, “We don’t know yet,” it can sound like a shrug. In reality, it often means the opposite: We are worried enough to be careful. The public can reasonably ask why some climate risk...
