In the complex web of Earth’s interconnected systems, the oceans play a pivotal role. However, the rising of the ocean’s temperature has cast a daunting shadow over marine ecosystems. This article covers the multifaceted repercussions of ocean warming on marine habitats and the subsequent shifts in species distribution. Understanding Ocean Warming Causes and
As climate change continues to affect our planet, it is crucial to understand the mechanisms behind it and how it affects the Earth’s ecosystems. One important tool that has been instrumental in gathering data to understand climate change is oceanographic sensors. These sensors have been used to measure various parameters of the ocean, including temperature, […]
Orkney’s Infrastructure Legacy Orkney has a rich history of significant infrastructure projects, dating back to the construction of the Ring of Brodgar, which reshaped our understanding of the sophistication of Neolithic society.

It’s a well known fact that carbon emission is the main cause of the current climate crisis. Shipping industry produces black carbon that seriously affects the amount of CO2 in the air. In an effort to reduce carbon emission in the shipping industry, more and more companies are now participating in sustainable practices and focusing […]
As challenges go, significantly cutting the shipping industry’s carbon footprint by 2050 is a big one. A sector powered by fossil fuels must learn to build a new generation of vessels that harness greener energy such as hydrogen or ammonia. In line with the IMO World Maritime theme for 2022, New technologies for Greener […]
Climate change is one of the greatest challenges that we face today. Global issues such as deforestation, extreme weather events, rising sea levels, etc. are all results of climate change and global warming.
