The “Photoacoustic Airborne Sonar System” could be installed beneath drones to enable aerial underwater surveys and high-resolution mapping of the deep ocean. Stanford University engineers…
Twice as much freshwater is stored offshore of Hawai’i Island than was previously thought, according to a University of Hawai’i study with important implications for…
Warm, moist rivers of air may have continent-wide effects and influence climate change. Warm, moist rivers of air in Antarctica play a key role in…
Repeated catastrophic ice discharges from western North America into the North Pacific contributed to, and perhaps triggered, hemispheric-scale changes in the Earth’s climate during the…
Including paleoclimate data in the development of climate models could help climate scientists predict scenarios for future climate and propose strategies for mitigation. An international…
Two researchers from Trinity College Dublin are among a four-strong team of principal investigators spearheading a new €10.4 million project funded by the European Research…
New approach could spark an era of battery-free ocean exploration, with applications ranging from marine conservation to aquaculture. GPS isn’t waterproof. The navigation system depends…
The fossilized remains of ancient deep-sea corals may act as time machines providing new insights into the effect the ocean has on rising CO2 levels,…
Bremen climate scientists disclose changing feedback mechanisms between climate and global carbon cycle over the last 35 million years. The current climate crisis underlines that…

University of Massachusetts Amherst, Canadian research uses ancient lake sediments to extend climate record. Taking advantage of unique properties of sediments from the bottom of…
Two open-ocean hydrographic stations record 40 years of change in the subtropical North Atlantic Ocean. New research published in Nature Communications Earth & Environment today (October…
Heatwaves in the world’s oceans have become over 20 times more frequent due to human influence. This is what researchers from the Oeschger Centre for…
The Arctic is one of the most rapidly changing regions in the world. Diminishing sea ice, thawing permafrost and melting glaciers are all direct effects…
Using soundwaves cast from seafloor earthquakes, researchers demonstrate a new take on a largely abandoned way to measure ocean warming worldwide — seismic ocean thermometry….
Study suggests sea ice blocks the flow of carbon both into and out of the ocean, in roughly equal measure. The Southern Ocean surrounding Antarctica…
