The Makran Coast (Iranian Coastline of the Oman Sea on the Northern Indian Ocean) plays an important role in country's future navigation and trade due to its accessibility. In 2014, the Iranian Makran coastline was selected by the PMO to be studied as the Phase 6 in the series of Monito...
Edges and ends of worlds are encountered frequently in the films of Harun Farocki. They form recurrent courses of navigation, tugging along ships and airplanes, riders and avatars, waves and clouds, memories and simulations. In one sequence in the eight-minute-long filmParallel II, a rider on ...
An ocean current is a continuous flow of water. Some currents are calledsurface currents, and some currents flow hundreds of feet below the surface of the water and are calleddeep ocean currents. Make sure to check out thedifferent layers of the ocean!
As an added bonus, we got to see someeddiesform! Eddies are circular moving currents and you can see them very clearly in this picture. Eventually the water mixes together to create lukewarm (and purple) water which is what it also does in the ocean. This easy ocean science experiment is...

). The tide determine when we can fish or forage for food in the intertidal region; can help or hinder marine navigation; interacts with the built environment where we have developed the coastline; and the tide can even influence weather (e.g.,Arnold et al., 2021). The tide is an ...
Like the currents carrying trash into the Great Pacific Garbage Patch, these four currents carry a portion of the world's trash to the middle of the Sargasso Sea where it becomes trapped. In addition to the Great Pacific Garbage Patch and the Sargasso Sea, there are three other major tropica...
