The Oceanography Society (TOS) has awarded the Ocean Observing Team Award to the Global Ocean Ship-Based Hydrographic ...

Far below the ocean’s surface, a hidden circulation system quietly shapes life on Earth. Dense “deep ocean water” formed in ...

The ocean is continuously ventilated when surface waters sink and transport, for example, oxygen and carbon to greater depths ...

New findings about ocean processes in the Antarctic show melting ice shelves and changes to sea ice could have catastrophic implications for the global climate. A team of Australian researchers led by ...

Scientists uncover how ancient ocean salt controlled carbon storage and shaped global temperatures at the end of the last ice ...

As human activities have released greenhouse gases into the atmosphere, trapping excess heat and warming the planet, the ocean has absorbed more than 90% of that excess heat since the 1970s. The ocean ...

The ocean is essentially our planet's climate control system, a massive engine that never stops working. For thousands of years, this intricate network of currents has maintained Earth's weather ...

The global ocean “conveyor belt” circulation, shown in part here as red and blue lines, circulates cooler seawater below the surface and warmer seawater at the surface throughout the world’s oceans.

What processes are contributing to the global oceans reducing the depths where sunlight reaches, also called ocean darkening? This is what a recent study published in Global Change Biology hopes to ...

Rutgers scientists uncover evidence that deep-sea salinity helped lock away carbon dioxide levels during the last ice ageClimate change has many ...
