The ocean is essentially our planet's climate control system, a massive engine that never stops working. For thousands of ...

The oceans — vast, ancient, and seemingly eternal — are shifting faster than scientists once believed possible. Temperatures ...

A warming climate doesn't just affect dry land — it affects the ocean, too. For many years, Earth's ocean has acted as a heat sink for climate change: A large part of the heat generated by human use ...

The Southern Ocean can release stored heat during cooling, creating short-term warming. This discovery shows climate recovery ...

A recent study reveals our warming world is triggering shifts in winds and ocean currents, which is likely contributing to an increase in harmful carbon pollution. An international team of scientists, ...

Melting ice could weaken Earth's strongest ocean current 20% by 2050, study reveals. Melting Antarctic ice is slowing Earth's strongest ocean current, according to a new study. The influx of cold ...

As global electricity use grows, the strain on traditional energy sources increases. Renewable options like wind and solar have become popular, yet there's a massive, largely untapped resource beneath ...

Before sunlight ever reached the planet, another force may have sparked life—electricity. Deep beneath the ocean floor, ...

Global scientists warn that humanity is on the verge of crossing irreversible climate thresholds, with coral reefs already at their tipping point and polar ice sheets possibly beyond recovery. The ...

A new review reveals how tiny shell-building plankton quietly drive carbon cycling and influence global climate change.

Oceans around the globe have become darker over the last two decades, leaving researchers fearful for their marine inhabitants, according to a new study. Professor Thomas Davies of the University of ...
