Work by Professor John Lienhard and Kishor Nayar SM ’14, PhD ’19 was recently recognized by the International Association for the Properties of Water and Steam.

An MIT-developed technique could aid in tracking the ocean’s health and productivity.

Method may help quickly identify regions where objects — and missing people — may have converged.

Instrument may help scientists assess the ocean’s response to climate change.

In the Maldives, an MIT team is conducting experiments to combat sea-level rise by redirecting natural sand movement.

When they encounter nutrient oases in the marine desert, marine bacteria release a gas involved in climate regulation.

Committing to aggressive conservation efforts could rebuild ocean habitats and species populations in a few decades.

MIT researchers describe factors governing how oceans and atmospheres move heat around on Earth and other planetary bodies.

The average power of waves hitting a coastline can predict how fast that coast will erode.

Study finds Earth’s oceans contain just the right amount of iron; adding more may not improve their ability to absorb carbon dioxide.
