Researchers created a detailed physical model that suggests a major Atlantic Ocean current will weaken far less under climate change than indicated by more extreme climate model projections. The ...

Climate models suggest that climate change could reduce the Southern Ocean’s ability to absorb carbon dioxide (CO 2). However, observational data actually shows that this ability has seen no ...

The world's oceans may be quietly amplifying climate change in ways scientists are only beginning to understand. In a new study published in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, University ...

For the first time, a study from researchers at Scripps Institution of Oceanography at the University of California San Diego integrates climate-related damages to the ocean into the social cost of ...

Climate models are complex, just like the world they mirror. They simultaneously simulate the interacting, chaotic flow of Earth’s atmosphere and oceans, and they run on the world’s largest ...

We are what we eat. And in the ocean, most life-forms source their food from phytoplankton. These microscopic, plant-like algae are the primary food source for krill, sea snails, some small fish, and ...

The ocean has absorbed about 30% of carbon dioxide emissions from human activities since the Industrial Revolution, significantly slowing the pace of climate change. But as emissions continue to rise, ...
