Charting the Shift of Oceanic Boundary Currents

same pattern for all boundary currents, with the Gulf Stream as the only exception. According to the data, the latter will weaken over the next decades. The study has been published today in the Journal of Geophysical Research professional journal. Along the eastern coasts of South Africa, Asia, Australasia, and South America, weather and climate will get significantly warmer over the next 100 years and thus presumably also significantly stormier on global average. The reason for this are changes to the western boundary currents that are already beginning to have a significant impact on weather events

years. Deepwater developments are driven by projects such as Cheveron’s Gandang, Gehem and Gendalo fields, Reliance Industries M-1 and Shell’s Kamunsu East. Both Malaysia and India are expected to account for the largest field development-related vessel demand in Asia over 2015-2019. Australasia Subsea vessel demand in the region will be largely driven by shallow water LNG developments in Western Australia from fields in the Bonaporte, Browse and Canarvon basins. Vessel requirement is also anticipated to increase by 54% as compared to the 2010-2014 period. Field development will account
