Celebrating 35 Years of Particle Flux Measurements in the Sargasso Sea
This year, the Ocean Flux Program celebrates 35 years of continuous measurements, making it the longest running time-series of its kind

Since October 1988, scientists have been sampling the deep ocean waters of the Sargasso Sea as part of the Bermuda Atlantic Time-series Study (BATS) project, with 2013 marking the program’s 25th year of continuous operation by BIOS
Read MoreSome of our Achievements in 2012
Thanks to your support in 2012, scientists at BIOS were able to make significant strides in understanding pressing ocean science issues of both local and global importance. At the same time, BIOS educators successfully brought ocean science education into the hands of students and teachers throughout Bermuda and beyond its borders

For many years scientists have operated on the belief—backed by extensive calculations and climate models—that the global ocean absorbs approximately 30% of the atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO2) produced by human activities. However, in a recent paper published in the journal Biogeosciences, Dr. Nicholas Bates, Senior Scientist and Associate Director of Research at BIOS, discovered this might not always be true
Read MoreScientists Convene at BIOS for Time-Series Workshop
From November 28-30, 2012 BIOS will host the international ocean time-series workshop, Moving Toward Global Interoperability in a Changing Ocean: An International Time-Series Methods Workshop. The workshop is jointly convened by the International Ocean Carbon Coordination Project (IOCCP) and the Ocean Carbon & Biogeochemistry (OCB) Program and aims to develop more consistent and transparent time-series methodologies

For the past two decades, BIOS scientists have stood behind the idea that mesoscale eddies are a driving force in coastal and open ocean processes, including biogeochemical cycling and the global carbon cycle. As research technologies improved over this time period it became apparent that, not only were they correct, but that eddies are far more important to ocean and climate systems than previously imagined
