Happy Birthday to CCMS: we are 2 today!
On 9 March 2020 the Center for Coastal and Marine Studies (CCMS) celebrates two years of establishment and active work. We have accomplished so much, but the best is yet to come!
The CCMS was born with the fundamental goal of developing and promoting science, research, knowledge transfer and innovation technologies in the Black Sea and in the World Ocean by bringing together science, environment, expertise, stakeholders and policy making.
ARCTIC ICE MELT IS CHANGING OCEAN CURRENTS
By NASA:
A major ocean current in the Arctic is faster and more turbulent as a result of rapid sea ice melt, a new study from NASA shows. The current is part of a delicate Arctic environment that is now flooded with fresh water, an effect of human-caused climate change.
Using 12 years of satellite data, scientists have measured how this circular current, called the Beaufort Gyre, has precariously balanced an influx of unprecedented amounts of cold, fresh water - a change that could alter the currents in the Atlantic Ocean and cool the climate of Western Europe.
