As the last Ice Age waned and the Holocene dawned, deep-ocean circulation around Antarctica underwent dramatic shifts that helped release long-stored carbon back into the atmosphere. Deep-sea ...
Climate scientists like to keep their accounting books neat and balanced. As climate change alters energy flows all across the planet, which in turn causes effects like sea level rise, ice melt and ...
The deep ocean covers roughly 70% of our planet, yet humans have visually explored only 0.001% of that mysterious realm. Now, a new global effort aims to change that. The Ocean Discovery League (ODL) ...
The southern Indian Ocean off the west coast of Australia is becoming less salty at an astonishing rate, largely due to climate change, new research shows. In a study published in Nature Climate ...
URochester Earth and Environmental Science professor and researcher Dr. Thomas Weber has led multiple, intricate research undertakings on biogeochemical cycles in the world’s oceans. Throughout this ...
Climate change has many causes, and the ocean is not usually the first one that comes to mind. People tend to think about smokestacks, tailpipes, and farmland. Yet far below the waves, another force ...
You are taught early in science that oxygen on Earth comes from sunlight. Plants, algae, and cyanobacteria use light to split water and release oxygen, shaping the atmosphere and making complex life ...
