The Earth’s oceans, vast and mysterious, cover more than 70% of our planet’s surface. They play a critical role in regulating the Earth’s climate and are now absorbing more heat than ...

Scientists reveal warm ocean temperatures are rising faster than expected and warming oceans driven by climate change and ...

As the atmosphere warms, oceans have been absorbing heat, which they eventually release back into the atmosphere. The Southern Ocean has a higher capacity for absorbing heat than other bodies of ...

Bleached coral dies when exposed to heat stress for too long, threatening the bountiful marine ecosystem that depends on it ...

Satellite data reveal a link between the amount of black carbon in the atmosphere and rates of Antarctic sea ice loss in recent years.

Waters flowing north from the tip of South Africa ride on the surface of the ocean, absorbing heat from the atmosphere as they glide through the tropics and subtropics. They release this heat into ...

When it comes to understanding the importance of ocean and climate, we need to determine how the ocean's ability to absorb heat and carbon dioxide will change. While the ocean presently absorbs 90 per ...

Beneath the surface of the Southern Ocean, vast volumes of cold, dense water plunge off the Antarctic continental shelf, cascading down underwater cliffs to the ocean floor thousands of meters below.

HALIFAX, Nova Scotia (AP) — From the grounds of a gas-fired power plant on the eastern shores of Canada, a little-known company is pumping a slurry of minerals into the ocean in the name of stopping ...

The Southern Ocean has a higher capacity for absorbing heat than other bodies of water due to a strong upwelling of deep cold water, but eventually the water will warm and gradually release heat.

Coral reefs around the world are losing their color at an unprecedented scale as a result of rising sea temperatures, federal ...
