The resilience of the Chilean coast after the earthquake of 2010
Apr. 5, 2013 — In February 2010, a violent earthquake struck Chile, causing a tsunami 10 m in height. Affecting millions of people, the earthquake and giant wave also transformed the appearance of the coastline: the dunes and sandbars were flattened, and the coast subsided in places by up to 1 m. But although the inhabitants are still affected for the long term, the shore system quickly rebuilt itself. A team from IRD and its Chilean partners(1) showed that in less than a year, the sedimentary structures had reformed. The Chilean coast therefore represented a unique ”natural laboratory” for studying coastal formation processes. The subsidence of the coast also revealed the effects of rising sea levels on shores.

For polar bears, it’s survival of the fattest
Mar. 20, 2013 — One of the most southerly populations of polar bears in the world — and the best studied — is struggling to cope with climate-induced changes to sea ice, new research reveals. Based on over 10 years’ data the study, published in the British Ecological Society’s Journal of Animal Ecology, sheds new light on how sea ice conditions drive polar bears’ annual migration on and off the ice.

Antarctic biodiversity data gathered by 90 expeditions since 1956 summarized
Feb. 19, 2013 — A new peer-reviewed data paper offers a comprehensive, open-access collection of georeferenced biological information about the Antarctic macrobenthic communities. The term macrobenthic refers to the visible-for-the-eye organisms that live near or on the sea bottom such as echinoderms, sponges, ascidians, crustaceans. The paper will help in coordinating biodiversity research and conservation activities on species living near the ocean bottom of the Antarctic.

Low extinction rates made California a refuge for diverse plant species
Jan. 9, 2013 — The remarkable diversity of California’s plant life is largely the result of low extinction rates over the past 45 million years, according to a new study published in the journal Evolution. Although many new species have evolved in California, the rate at which plant lineages gave rise to new species has not been notably higher in California than elsewhere, researchers found.

Live Giant Squid Filmed in the Pacific for the First Time
This amazing sea creature is an Architeuthis. Or a Kraken, as the ancient vikings used to call it. We knew the kraken wasn’t a mythical creature. Giant squids like this have been captured in the past, usually near the sea’s surface, but this is the first time one has been filmed alive in the wild, majestically swimming at 2,066 feet underwater.
