An interdisciplinary study confirms, for the first time, the oceanographic pathways that transport floating macroalgae from ...

Narrow bands of ocean covering just over one-third of the world's seas are responsible for absorbing nearly three-quarters of ...

Ocean alkalinity enhancement (OAE) could help lower atmospheric CO2 and ease ocean acidification, but its effectiveness declines over time due to carbon cycle feedbacks, a new modelling study has ...

Tiny plastic particles drifting through the oceans may be quietly weakening one of Earth’s most powerful climate defenses.

Our planet has experienced dramatic climate shifts throughout its history, oscillating between freezing "icehouse" periods ...

New research highlights the complex relationship between Earth's tectonic plate movements and climate shifts. Contrary to ...

Ocean fronts are most common in mid-to-high latitudes where colliding water masses drive downwelling and upwelling that bring nutrient-rich deep water to the surface, fueling massive phytoplankton ...

Eruptions from volcanic arcs, found where tectonic plates converge, are one of the major drivers of natural carbon emissions, ...

Phytoplankton are key players in the ocean carbon cycle. Comprised of a variety of microscopic photosynthesizing bacteria, algae, and other single-cell organisms, phytoplankton form the base of marine ...

Scientists have uncovered a surprising mechanism that may explain how Earth cooled dramatically after the age of dinosaurs.
