Human emissions of greenhouse gases are the primary, measurable driver of climate change today.

For nearly two decades, Global NCOM delivered validated, operational ocean predictions for the U.S. Navy, a legacy of measurable precision. Developed by the Naval Research Laboratory from the Princeton Ocean Model, its…

Three calibrated pressures agriculture places on planetary climate indicators: land-use change, nitrous oxide emissions, and freshwater depletion.

Validated data reveals the true state of global fish populations, thanks to the rigorous work of Ray Hilborn, Michael Melnychuk, Max Mossler, and Daniel Hively from the RAM Legacy Stock Assessment Database.

A new global database of surface pCO2 data, validated and integrated by NOAA's National Centers for Environmental Information, delivers the kind of empirical, peer-reviewed ocean intelligence that climate indicators…

A career of data reveals our collective failure to safeguard coral reefs, particularly in the Western Atlantic.

A thousand rivers, represented by the red dots on our map, account for nearly 80% of global annual riverine plastic emissions, between 0.8 and 2.7 million metric tons per year. The most polluting among them are small…

Billions of pounds of waste enter our ocean each year, now measured and mapped with empirical precision.

Scaling validated energy systems to meet a measurable global deficit means building infrastructure that is safe, low-carbon, and cheap at a scale the world can rely on.

A single plastic bottle can travel from a coastal city to the heart of a garbage patch, but its path has long been invisible.

Mapping innovation in green marine fuels requires more than evaluating emission-reduction potential.

Sperm whale clicks are broadband and powerful, but they share the deep soundscape with transient noise that fools conventional detectors.

Validated SAR ship detection has never been more precise.

Validated impact pressure models for dam-break waves on sloping wet beds reveal that upstream water depth and bed slope amplify peak impact pressure, while longer downstream channels reduce it.

Satellite data now reveals measurable pathways of ocean plastic pollution, turning what was once an invisible crisis into a trackable phenomenon.

Three of the world's top five hotspots for marine microplastic pollution are in Europe, a finding validated by water samples collected during The Ocean Race.
