In 2024, ocean temperatures reached record highs, worsening extreme weather and threatening ecosystems due to accelerating ...

A team of researchers reconstructed a critical ocean current system — called the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation, or AMOC — in computer models and found no evidence of long-term weakening ...

The Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC) has not slowed down since the mid-20th century based on the North Atlantic air-sea heat fluxes over that time. This finding contrasts with ...

Average temperatures across the world’s oceans reached an all-time high in 2024, a new multi-team study shows. The ...

Levels of the most significant planet-warming gas in our atmosphere rose more quickly than ever previously recorded last year ...

Then, to restore equilibrium, the ocean absorbs more carbon from the atmosphere. This chemical reaction makes the ocean the planet’s largest carbon sink, a term referring to a natural or man ...

New research by the UK's National Oceanography Centre reveals hidden ocean processes and challenges the role of diatoms in carbon storage.

Dartmouth researchers say zooplankton could help bury carbon in the ocean. The key to that process? Sprinkling clay dust on ...
