Researchers from @PlymUni @PlymouthMarine @thembauk have helped the BBC's Climate Editor @BBCJustinR tell the story of rising ocean temperatures and the impact they are having on species + ecosystems locally and globally.
Listen to @mcollins_2 at 1:15 👉

The oceans have hit their hottest ever recorded temperature as they soak up warmth from climate change, with dire implications for our planet's health.
Climate Editor Justin Rowlatt had more details on #BBCBreakfast

Our next workshop takes us to the deep oceans where @jenny_gales will be getting our students hands on with how experts map and measure sea floor features. Did you know we have only mapped 20% of the global ocean? Discover submarine volcanoes, canyons, seamounts and more!
