Each year, vast blooms of phytoplankton spread across the Southern Ocean, drawing carbon dioxide from the atmosphere and ...

The last ice age did not shut down Atlantic ocean currents, and that discovery may help explain future climate risks.

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

During the last ice age, the Atlantic Ocean’s powerful current system remained active and continued to transport warm, salty water from the tropics to the North Atlantic despite extensive ice cover ...

A new scientific atlas has just redrawn the map of Antarctica’s seafloor—and what it reveals could alter how researchers model sea-level rise, ocean circulation, and the continent’s past. The study, ...

Stronger El Niño events are more likely when springtime surface waters in the western Pacific Ocean become unusually salty, a ...

Rutgers University marine scientists are using New Jersey-developed tools to measure how iron shortages in Southern Ocean ...

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

During the last ice age, the Atlantic Ocean's powerful current system remained active and continued to transport warm, salty ...
