NOC in partnership with Plymouth Marine Laboratory (PML), the Marine Biological Association (MBA) and the Scottish Association for Marine Science (SAMS) will be bringing ocean science to the Royal Society Summer Science Festival this year, to tell the compelling story of how we are all connected to the ocean, and how ocean warming is changing life on earth.
“Deep Heat, How a warming Ocean is changing life on earth” tells the story of how we are all connected to the ocean. It regulates our climate by moving heat and fresh water around the planet, and is a primary driver of our weather. The ocean has absorbed 90% of the heat generated by greenhouse gas emissions, and 30% of the carbon dioxide that causes this warming. This has consequences for life in the oceans and life on land.
Interact with our giant Puffersphere, get involved in an ocean circulation experiment and come and find out how understanding plankton is key to predicting our future ocean. Learn how scientists are revolutionising our understanding of our oceans and developing new technologies to observe and monitor ocean variables that are critical for climate science.
