Scientists from the CNRS, CNES, IRD, Sorbonne Université, l’Université Toulouse III – Paul Sabatier and their Australian colleagues*, with the support of the IPEV, have…
The songs of fin whales can be used for seismic imaging of the oceanic crust, providing scientists a novel alternative to conventional surveying, a new…
Climate change is bleaching and killing corals, but researchers from Michigan State and the University of Hawaii are investigating how some can stand up to…
Molecular iodine, a major emission from the ocean, can quickly convert to iodic oxoacids even under weak daylight conditions. These oxoacids lead rapidly to aerosol…
The Copernicus Sentinel-2 mission takes us over the algal blooms swirling around the Pacific Ocean, just off the coast of Japan. Algae blooms refer to…
Hydrocarbons and petroleum are almost synonymous in environmental science. After all, oil reserves account for nearly all the hydrocarbons we encounter. But the few hydrocarbons…
New tool gauges impacts of warming waters on over 200 fish species. Warming ocean waters could reduce the ability of fish, especially large ones, to…
The open ocean is a harsh place for newborn fishes. From the minute larvae hatch from their eggs, their survival depends upon finding food and…
There are two main elements to observe when assessing sea level rise. One is the loss of the ice on land, e.g., melting mountain glaciers…
An atlas of harmful algal blooms across the Red Sea reveals their link with industrial aquaculture and how these blooms have changed in recent decades….
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…
A research team – the first to carry out a survey of global ice loss using satellite data – has discovered that the rate at…
Unprecedented warming in equatorial Pacific Ocean could last up to seven years. A nuclear war could trigger an unprecedented El Niño-like warming episode in the…
Efforts to understand when corals reproduce have been given a boost thanks to a new resource that gives scientists open access to more than forty…
Geological Phenomenon Widening the Atlantic Ocean An upsurge of matter from deep beneath the Earth’s crust could be pushing the continents of North and South…
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…
