Ocean Science Fact: Sea level rise is not only due to melting glaciers
Did you know that sea level rise is not only due to melting glaciers? About one third of today’s sea level rise is due to thermal expansion of the ocean – as the ocean warms, water expands and takes up more space. The other two-thirds come from…
Ocean Science Fact: Sea level rise will increase two to seven times this century
Global mean sea level (GMSL) is rising and the phenomenon is accelerating. Indeed, last century (1901-2000) GMSL rose by 15cm, whereas predictions for the 2011-2100 period are an additional 30 cm to 110 cm, depending on the area and the carbon emission…

A Fisheries Science Vessel for the Pacific
PCCOS is working with SPC's Fisheries, Aquaculture and Maritime and Geoscience, Energy and Maritime Divisions, along with external partners and collaborators on the acquisition of Fisheries Science Vessel for the Pacific.
Ocean Science Fact: Did you know that the Pacific Ocean is the climate’s main regulator?
The Pacific Ocean is the world’s heat engine, having a crucial role in regulating weather and the climate (think of El Niño!).
The ocean influences weather and climate by storing solar radiation, redistributing heat and moisture around the globe, and…
