Strong regional sea-level rise during the onset of Antarctic glaciation
An international team of scientists discovered a surprisingly strong regional sea-level rise which occurred during the onset of Antarctic glaciation about 34 million years ago, while the global sea-level on average lowered. In an article, published today in Nature Geoscience, scientists of the Royal Netherlands Institute for Sea Research (NIOZ), Utrecht University and TU Delft explain why.Read more … Strong regional sea-level rise during the onset of Antarctic glaciation

Effects of Seed Mussel Fishery are More Subtle
Some incorrect conclusions have been drawn on the basis of reports, released earlier this week, on the influence of seed mussel fishery in the Wadden Sea. NIOZ and IMARES Wageningen UR, having carried out much of this research project, state that the conclusions are more subtle.
Past increases in atmospheric CO2 concentrations have led to acidification of the ocean and global warming. Petra Schoon of the Royal Netherlands Institute for Sea Research (NIOZ) found that these climate events had a large impact on the climate of Northern Europe, such as warming of 5-8˚C and removal of most of the oxygen from the water of the North Sea. Schoon will defend her thesis on April 3rd at Utrecht University.Agenda next 2 weeks
