Climate scientists have long tried to explain why ice-age cycles became longer and more intense some 900,000 years ago, switching from 41,000-year cycles to 100,000-year cycles

Scientists from the National Oceanography Centre are preparing to set sail to sub-polar regions on a very technical and scientific challenge - to measure the currents of the northern North Atlantic Ocean from the surface to the seafloor

Sea currents may have a great impact on safety of navigation and, therefore, it is important to have knowledge about them.
