4Oceanography is a search engine built for oceanographers, marine researchers, students, and practitioners. It combines multiple indexes, domain-tuned ranking, and AI tools to find papers, datasets, equipment, news, and methods more effectively than general search engines. Use targeted filters for region, instrument, variable, and publication type to narrow results. The site also offers articles, guides, and tools to help with study design, data processing, and field logistics. Part of the 4SEARCH network of topic specific search engines.
Pioneering Study Unites Physics, Geology and Biology in Argentina’s Submarine Canyons
1+ week, 3+ day ago (404+ words) Scientists map four submarine canyons and collect critical data on how underwater currents interact with the canyons, providing insights into the physical and chemical dynamics that support rich biodiversity in Argentina's waters. The expedition was led by Dr. Silvia Ines Romero of Argentina's Servicio de Hidrografia Naval. Her team hypothesized that these submarine canyons serve as conduits between the deep sea and shallower waters " providing essential nutrients that support Argentina's massive phytoplankton blooms, which, in turn, support thriving marine ecosystems." Over 27 days in October, they used a glider, 46 sea surface drifters, two seafloor landers, a moored buoy, and additional shipboard technologies to map four submarine canyons and surrounding areas to collect data on how currents interact with the seafloor. The expedition was Schmidt Ocean Institute's second in collaboration with Argentinian scientists and within the country's waters. The team leading the…...
