“In a way, the ocean has been our greatest champion in the fight against climate change,” Glaubke said. “But without a ...

For 80 years, scientists have been aware of “equatorial waters” in the Pacific and Indian oceans. Finally, similar waters in ...

The near-bottom water on the U.S. Northeast continental shelf provides a critical cold-water habitat for the rich regional marine ecosystem. This 'cold pool' preserves winter temperatures, even when ...

Since the saltiness of ocean surface waters is a key variable in the climate system, understanding how this changes is important to understanding climate change. Thanks to ESA’s Climate Change ...

Researchers have discovered a dramatic and unexpected shift in the Southern Ocean, with surface water salinity rising and sea ice in steep decline. Since 2015, Antarctica has lost sea ice equal to the ...

Cracking, creaking ice at the bottom of the world is quietly shaping the future climate you live in. New research from ...

Dehradun: Variations in subsurface temperature and salinity in the Indian Ocean—often invisible to conventional ...
