What appears to be an eruption of Axial Volcano was observed in real time by scientists on April 23, thanks to a set of the instruments installed last summer by the University of Washington to bring the deep sea online.
For the first time in over one hundred and fifty years, it is possible to actually see the submarine Hunley. Until recently, it was completely covered by an encrusted layer of sand, sediment and shells that built up slowly over time. For the past four months, Clemson University conservators have been conducting the delicate task of chiseling away this concretion.
A study of sea urchins from the Antarctic Peninsula has revealed an ability to adapt to changing conditions such as rising sea temperature and acidification.
Construction of a new offshore research and development centre at Memorial University is complete, that should pave the way for increased collaborative research focused on solving technical challenges facing Newfoundland and Labrador industries.
Researchers from MIT and Turkey have found evidence for both types of behavior on different segments of the North Anatolian Fault, one of the most energetic earthquake zones in the world. The fault, similar in scale to California’s San Andreas Fault, stretches for about 745 miles across northern Turkey and into the Aegean Sea.
Robert Gordon University (RGU) will open a new Centre for Smart Data Technologies this month, which aims to bring the benefits of analysing and mining vast quantities of data to industry.

Western Ireland is cool and rainy in late September—good weather for ducks. Irish filmmaker Fergus Sweeney was walking along Blacksod Bay, County Mayo, last fall, when he saw a big round object washed ashore in the distance. It was bright yellow, the colour of a rubber duck, but nearly as a big as a bathtub.
Sweeney took a closer look and saw that it was an oceanographic buoy. But where had it come from, what was it for, and what brought it to Ireland?
