A little background: What’s so special about the Galápagos? There is far more than one could learn in a lifetime about geology, ecology, biology, and evolution from the Galápagos Archipelago, and part ...

Historically, the ocean has been difficult to model. Scientists struggled in years past to simulate ocean currents or accurately predict fluctuations in temperature, salinity, and other properties. As ...

Getting your Trinity Audio player ready... A sprawling, slow-moving system of ocean currents circulating in the Atlantic that help regulate the earth’s temperature is set to deliver a blob of warmer, ...

Ocean currents driven by wind, water density, tides, ocean floor features, or the Coriolis effect, have an important role on climate regulation and marine ecology. In turn, increasing water surface ...

Under the lead of the Leibniz Institute for Baltic Sea Research Warnemünde (IOW), a sediment core from the Southeast Pacific ...

On land, we're familiar with heat waves and cold snaps. But the deep sea also experiences prolonged periods of hot and cold. Marine heat waves and cold spells can severely damage ocean ecosystems and ...

Data from NOAA's Geophysical Fluid Dynamics Laboratory reveals how ocean currents are powered by changing temperatures throughout the year. The model traces the interconnected streams around the world ...

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 ...

A crucial system of ocean currents may already be on course to collapse, according to a new report, with alarming implications for sea level rise and global weather — leading temperatures to plunge ...

If you're out near the Santa Monica Pier, you may notice parts of the ocean looking a little pink. Don't worry, it's all in ...
