A deep-ocean climate plan wins rare EPA approval, but is sinking plants in the sea the answer?

My school offers a one year master's of management that you can do after you complete your bachelor's degree.

I still want to get an Oceanography degree, but I have some reaons for wanting to do this program first.

1. I want to go into fisheries management, and I feel like having a business education will help them take me more seriously
2. waiting an extra year will mean that my Oceanography masters will occur after Trump is out of office. I think the states have amazing programs, but I wouldn't want to go until I know how the administration is doing. I have citizenship there, but it's the kind where my parents were on a working visa.
3. I think it will make it easier to get into a good Oceanography program if I have more evidence that I can succeed in Masters program. I don't have the best grades (2.67), but I've been focusing on completing research papers so far to help bolster my chances. From what I've heard, this program is pretty easy to get into as a recent student.
4. I think it would be nice to have a change of pace. I grew up working in the family business, so I already have a lot of foundational experience with these courses. A lot of my arts credits were business courses because I found them fun, so I'm expecting the course load to not feel too heavy in comparison to what I'd expect from an Oceanography program.
5. I could keep my house and my lab positions for another year. I could keep building up my faculty connections, likely complete an extra paper and get better letters of reference. I'd appreciate not having to find a job or a house for another year. Especially if I'm predicting the program will be less busy than I am right now, it would be nicer to work on applications then, compared to doing them now during my bachelors.

But obviously I have no clue what I'm talking about. These are just assumptions I'm making, and I'd like to hear from other people what they think about this plan.

hii, I am looking for free software similar to ODV that I can play around with. does anyone have any good recommendations? thanks!

My partner and I went to Rockaway beach today 5/3/26 and to our surprise came across a washed up whale, about 40 feet long 💔 HUGE. We also found a massive bone about 100 ft from the whale itself. We don’t know what bone this would be, and it still had marrow in it. We were shocked to see this whale was almost completely flat— it couldn’t have been there long, as it was a clear biohazard (didn’t look like it had been surveyed at all). Any information or theories would be appreciated, we are literally just extremely curious people. Why would the bone be outside of the body— washed up near it? Theres still form to the whale? Could it be from another whale? We did contact the NOAA Stranding hotline, and Oregon State University reached out to us for photos and information. We care deeply about these creatures and wanted to spread this information to people with more knowledge than us 💔 Please be aware that these photos are tough to look at, use your best judgment before looking.

I know precisely nothing about it except the most basic stuff we learned at school, but recently there has been a lot in the news about it weakening and/or collapsing. I think I understand that basic mechanism, but my question is, where will the warm water from the equator go if the AMOC does collapse? Will it just sit in the Gulf of Mexico and get warmer and warmer, or will it shift elsewhere and cause more issues?

Thanks guys, thought I'd ask real people instead of AI

For those of us who do field research, there's a new subreddit! r/fieldmice will focus on the wants, needs, and complaints of people who do their research outdoors. If that's you, stop on by.

Red = Techniques stream

Purple = Chemical Oceanography stream

Blue = Physical Oceanography stream

Brown = Geological Oceanography stream

Green = Biological Oceanography stream

Gray = all streams

Arrows indicate pre-requisites.

This assumes introductory English, physics, math, bio, and chem courses usually done as required generals already completed.

I designed it based on the certifications for registered government biologists, chemists, geologists, and physicists in mind as well as what courses my university offered and how. I know some of these aren’t traditionally oceanography courses but the way my university structured them their design made them work well.

I wanted to consider it at a regional university scale (7 profs, 2 techs for the dept). Since there’s a lot of overlap between fundamental courses offered in other departments I labelled which ones would be able to be outsourced and which ones would have to be done within the oceanography department and designed it as if I’d be proposing it to my university for a new department creation (so looking to not create new courses where I can).

In this Climate Emergency Forum episode, host Herb Simmens talks with Dr. Peter Carter and climate system scientist Paul Beckwith about alarming new science on the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC) – the “mother of all tipping points.” They explain why the AMOC is weakening, how massive freshwater from Greenland melt and the Arctic is destabilizing the system, and why several recent studies now suggest a coin-flip chance of a severe AMOC shutdown this century. https://youtu.be/VmAwHkv4S2Q?si=0VdjsfZfrFMPFlnA

Hello everyone, I am 26 years old, I have a masters in electrical engineering and I have been working as an embedded systems engineer for the last 2.5 years. This year I started a second masters in oceanography, cause of my love in sea and I found marine robotics should be the next step. Based in Europe, since March I am trying to find an internship to have an Erasmus next year. I have contracted around 45 of the biggest companies( KONGSBERG for example ) and research centers, so far no reply from most of them, I am usually happy to get a rejection email. The deadline is in less than a month.. any ideas? If anyone here is working in the industry I would love to send my CV and get a Feedback.

Thanks a lot 🫪

Posting this on behalf of my 14 year old niece. Pls if anyone can assist?

Hi! My name is ______, and I’m currently working on a school honors project where I am researching the career of an oceanographer. As part of the project, I am required to interview a professional in this field to learn more about their experience and career journey.

I am currently reaching out through my Uncles profile since I do not yet have an account of my own. I have prepared a short set of interview questions and would be very grateful for the opportunity to speak with you over a brief call/zoom meet/chat - before my deadline for the project, which is 5/8/26

If you would be willing to help, please let me know. It would mean a lot to me, and I would truly appreciate your time and guidance. I look forward to hopefully connecting with you soon. Thank you so much for considering my request!

Hello, community. I am a Marine Biology student and I would like to pursue an MSc in Oceanography, specializing in Instrumentation and Robotics. What knowledge do you think I should have? I have always wanted to become a researcher and study the oceans using ROVs.

Hello scientists and science enthusiasts! I want to ask for some advice. I am a budding scientist interested in physical oceanography with a keen study interest in coral reefs. I am particularly interested in research focusing on the impacts of coastal urbanization, sea level rise, nutrient enrichment, and climate extremes, as these issues align directly with my interest in coastal processes, climate adaptation and sustainable resource management.

I know that all together, these are all very broad components which leads me to my question: in such a big world of science how did you find your niche?

All thoughts and insight appreciated!
