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 ...

We all depend on the oceans. They regulate climate over long timescales and affect weather on land. They also host vast ecosystems, provide nutrition for billions, and support livelihoods and cultures ...

Global warming, rising ocean temperatures, climate change, natural disasters…these are all things we hear about on a daily basis, inciting fears of the imminent environmental apocalypse. But when it ...

In this first glimpse of the "Sea Camp" series from NPR's Short Wave podcast, hear how climate change will significantly shift three-quarters of the ocean's surface currents by the end of the century.

The Korea Institute of Ocean Science and Technology established, through genetic connectivity analysis, that a northward shift in the habitat of Turbo sazae, from the southern coast to the eastern ...

Computer models reveal how human-driven climate change will dramatically overhaul critical nutrient cycles in the ocean. Researchers report evidence that marine nutrient cycles -- essential for ...

While it is well known that climate change is heating the world's oceans, it was thought that the deep sea was safe from its effects—until now. Researchers have discovered that a rapidly warming part ...

Ocean warming has more than quadrupled in recent decades and is likely to accelerate even faster if humanity fails to address climate change, scientists find. When you purchase through links on our ...

Hurricane Melissa reached Category 4 strength, with winds of 140 mph, between Oct. 25 and 26 after undergoing extreme rapid intensification — an increase of about 70 mph in just 24 hours. The storm ...
