BIOS Celebrates 25 Years of Oceanographic Time-series Science
On April 24, 2014, BIOS faculty, staff, and supporters gathered in the Tradewinds Auditorium at BUEI to highlight a quarter century of science carried out through the Bermuda Atlantic Time-series Study (BATS), and to celebrate the numerous individuals who have contributed to the growth and longevity of the oceanographic time-series

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
Read MoreNorth Atlantic Ocean Absorbing Less CO2 Than Originally Thought
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
