- Scientists lose critical climate record as ocean observatory will go dark under Trump funding cuts
A critical ocean monitoring network, the Ocean Observatories Initiative, will be dismantled by 2027 due to funding cuts from the National Science Foundation, impacting climate and marine data collection. Scientists warn the loss will hinder tracking of oceanographic signals, especially during an upcoming El Niño event.
- Scientists lose critical climate record as ocean observatory will go dark under Trump funding cuts
Scientists will lose critical climate data as the National Science Foundation dismantles part of the Ocean Observatories Initiative, a $386 million ocean monitoring network, due to funding cuts. The project, designed to operate for 25-30 years, will have its Pacific Northwest sensors removed by 2027, disrupting long-term climate research during an upcoming El Niño event.
