Gray seals are gregarious animals—they gather in large groups on shore to breed, give birth, and molt. Female gray seals live up to 35 years and males about 25 years. Gray seals primarily hunt squid, fish, and sandeels; their main predators are humans, sharks, and orcas. Gray seal pups are born in autumn (September to November) in the eastern ...

Oct 29, 2024 · Erebus Bay, Antarctica is home to the southernmost population of the world’s southernmost living mammal – the Weddell seal. The researchers outfitted the seals with Conductivity Temperature Depth-Satellite Relay Dive Loggers, which collected 8,913 days of behavioral data from 59 adult seals.

Sep 19, 2022 · Sea level is rising, says Chris Piecuch, a physical oceanographer and sea-level scientist at WHOI. Not only that, it’s rising faster over time. Scientists use computer models to predict how it will change in the future. But “I look more to the past,” Piecuch says. “What’s happened over the past few decades or the past few centuries.”.
Apr 25, 2018 · Scientists have assumed that this passive compression was marine mammals’ main adaptation to avoid taking up excessive nitrogen at depth and getting the bends. In their study, the researchers took CT images of a deceased dolphin, seal, and a domestic pig pressurized in a hyperbaric chamber. The team was able to see how the marine mammals ...
Feb 25, 2021 · What is the abyssal zone? Earth’s vast oceans run deep, bottoming out around 4,000 meters (13,123 feet) in most places, although trenches can form underwater canyons extending another 7,000 meters (22,965 feet). The seafloor and water column from 3,000 to 6,500 meters (9,842 to 21,325 feet) depth is known as the abyssal zone, or the abyss.
Dec 19, 2018 · Sea levels are rising globally from ocean warming and melting of land ice, but the seas aren't rising at the same rate everywhere. Sea levels have risen significantly higher in some U.S. East Coast regions compared to others. A new study led by the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution (WHOI) reveals…
This rise has driven up global temperatures, hastening the retreat of glaciers around the world. The resulting meltwater is draining into the oceans and contributing to our rising seas. But our Earth's glacial past is also playing a big role in local differences in sea level rise. During the ice age, large areas of North America were covered by ...
The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change predicts that global sea levels could rise between 1.4 and 2.7 feet by 2100, compared to the average 1986-2005 sea level. Hotter ocean temperatures drive sea level rise; just how much sea level rise occurs depends on how much the planet warms. Sea levels will continue to rise.
