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 ...

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

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 ...

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.

Scientists trace Earth’s long cooling to falling ocean calcium, pulling CO₂ from the air and offering new insight into a greenhouse mystery.

Scientists have traditionally focused on volcanic arcs as the main natural source of atmospheric carbon dioxide. These form ...
