Far below the ocean’s surface, a hidden circulation system quietly shapes life on Earth. Dense “deep ocean water” formed in ...
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.
The ocean is continuously ventilated when surface waters sink and transport, for example, oxygen and carbon to greater depths ...
During the last ice age, the Atlantic Ocean's powerful current system remained active and continued to transport warm, salty ...
Scientists have uncovered why big predators like sharks spend so much time in the ocean’s twilight zone. The answer lies with mid-sized fish such as the bigscale pomfret, which live deep during the ...
Cracking, creaking ice at the bottom of the world is quietly shaping the future climate you live in. New research from Australian scientists shows that melting Antarctic ice shelves and changing sea ...
The Oceanography Society (TOS) has awarded the Ocean Observing Team Award to the Global Ocean Ship-Based Hydrographic ...
Researchers have uncovered surprising evidence that the deep ocean’s carbon-fixing engine works very differently than long assumed. While ammonia-oxidizing archaea were thought to dominate carbon ...
