Two years after the Brunt Ice Shelf seemed poised to produce a berg twice the size of New York City, the ice is still hanging…
Scientists with NASA’s Oceans Melting Greenland mission are probing deep below the island’s warming coastal waters to help us better predict the rising seas of…
It’s clear that rising greenhouse gas emissions are the main driver of global warming. But on a regional level, several other factors are at play….
Marine Heatwaves Becoming More Intense, More Frequent When thick, the surface layer of the ocean acts as a buffer to extreme marine heating—but a new…
It’s official: 2020 ranks as the second-hottest year on record for the planet, knocking 2019 down to third hottest, according to an analysis by NOAA…
A research team – the first to carry out a survey of global ice loss using satellite data – has discovered that the rate at…
Warming seas are accelerating the retreat of Greenland’s coastal glaciers. Sverdrup Glacier in northwest Greenland is pretty average. It is a textbook example of the…
The rate of global ice loss is speeding up, according to new research. And the findings also reveal that the Earth lost 28 trillion tonnes…
Earth’s global average surface temperature in 2020 tied with 2016 as the warmest year on record, according to an analysis by NASA. Continuing the planet’s…
A Climate in Crisis Calls for Investment in Direct Air Capture Wartime-level funding for a fleet of CO2 scrubbers could slow warming, but stopping climate…
Global warming is affecting daytime and night-time temperatures differently – and greater night-time warming is more common than greater daytime warming worldwide – new research…
Earth’s average temperature has risen more than 1.2°C (2°F) since the late 19th century. Earth’s global average surface temperature in 2020 tied with 2016 for…
Oxygen levels in the ancient oceans were surprisingly resilient to climate change, new research suggests. Scientists used geological samples to estimate ocean oxygen during a…
Earth’s ability to absorb nearly a third of human-caused carbon emissions through plants could be halved within the next two decades at the current rate…
Even with the COVID-19-related small dip in global carbon emissions due to limited travel and other activities, the ocean temperatures continued a trend of breaking…
New research has found as climate change causes the world’s oceans to warm, baby sharks are born smaller, exhausted, undernourished, and into environments that are…
