Observations of unprecedented ocean temperatures in 2023 may become typical in a world that is 5.4°F (3.0°C) warmer than pre-industrial levels, according to a new…
There’s enough water frozen in Greenland and Antarctic glaciers that if they melted, global seas would rise by many feet. What will happen to these…
The Earth’s lithosphere is divided into multiple tectonic plates, which are continuously moving. This movement leads to the formation and fragmentation of supercontinents, alongside the…
Recent research employing computational simulations predicts that the subduction zone presently beneath the Strait of Gibraltar will extend further into the Atlantic, playing a key…
Marine heatwaves will become a regular occurrence in the Arctic in the near future and are a product of higher anthropogenic greenhouse-gas emissions – as…
New findings show that coral bleaching prompts the release of compounds that encourage harmful bacterial growth, suggesting these changes could serve as early indicators of…
In November 2023, the Copernicus Sentinel-3 mission documented a vast algae bloom around the Falkland Islands, highlighting the interplay between oceanic currents that fuel these…
A landmark study has uncovered that bottom trawling contributes to the release of as much as 370 million metric tons of carbon dioxide annually into…
3, 2, 1 … LIFTOFF! A SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket carrying NASA’s PACE (Plankton, Aerosol, Cloud, ocean Ecosystem) spacecraft launched from Cape Canaveral Space Force…
Specimens obtained from the seabed offer the inaugural detailed local climatic history and establish a connection to widespread disease outbreaks. Is there a link between…
On September 4, 2022, Hayato Ueda, a geologist from Niigata University, embarked on a submarine journey alongside pilot Chris May into the heart of the…
The team provides a new framework for understanding the climate system by employing mechanical analysis instead of statistical analysis. An international group of scientists has…
Antarctica’s coastal waters may see a 100% increase in acidity by 2100, endangering marine life, according to a new study. Reducing CO2 emissions is crucial…
People have long noticed that the waters around Cabo Frio are unusually cool. When European explorers first surveyed the coastline of what is now the…
New research reveals that North Atlantic phytoplankton populations have been stable since the industrial era, contradicting previous studies of decline. To paraphrase Mark Twain, reports…
Data spanning 40 years shows changes in the subtropical North Atlantic Ocean near the island of Bermuda, including warming by 1°C. Oceans are constantly changing….
Research reveals that oceans store 20% more carbon dioxide than previously estimated, primarily through plankton transporting carbon to the seabed. This new understanding, however, doesn’t…
