The Oceanography Society (TOS) has awarded the Ocean Observing Team Award to the Global Ocean Ship-Based Hydrographic Investigations Program (GO-SHIP), recognizing the program’s groundbreaking and ...

A conveyor belt of ocean water that loops the planet and regulates global temperatures could be heading for a tipping point.

Global ocean heat content increased by approximately 23 zetajoules (ZJ) in 2025, roughly 40 times annual global primary energy consumption. This is not good.

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

A team of researchers including oceanographer Lia Siegelman of UC San Diego’s Scripps Institution of Oceanography co-authored a new study that describes storm-like ocean circulation patterns beneath ...

Claims that new research shows the oceans are speeding global cooling have raced across social media, tapping into a wider fatigue with climate headlines and a hunger for contrarian takes. The science ...

As well as 2025 being one of the warmest years for ocean temperatures, Copernicus revealed earlier this month that 2025 was the third-warmest year on record globally with average temperatures of ...

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 ...

Using geochemical analyses of marine sediments, researchers have been able to quantitatively reconstruct the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation over the past 12,000 years. An international ...

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 ...
