Marine life stirs ocean enough to affect climate, says FSU study
Oceanographers worldwide pay close attention to phytoplankton and with good reason. The microscopic plants that form the vast foundation of the marine food chain generate a staggering amount of power. view more (2006-10-16)
Research Cruise To Understand Major Changes In Atlantic
Scientists at the University of Liverpool are embarking on a research cruise to help them understand recent major changes in the temperature of the Atlantic. view more (2005-05-10)
Warming ocean contributes to global warming
The warming of an Arctic current over the last 30 years has triggered the release of methane, a potent greenhouse gas, from methane hydrate stored in the sediment beneath the seabed. view more (2009-08-17)
Why is the North Pole frozen?
Ice has been building up in the Arctic for 2.7 million years. Until now, no-one has been able to prove what mechanism brought about this accumulation of ice. However, a team of international scientists led by Antoni Rosell, a researcher for the Institute of Environmental Science and Technology at the Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona, and... view more...

Saharan dust storms sustain life in Atlantic Ocean
Research at the University of Liverpool has found how Saharan dust storms help sustain life over extensive regions of the North Atlantic Ocean. view more (2008-07-21)
Antarctica glacier retreat creates new carbon dioxide store
Large blooms of tiny marine plants called phytoplankton are flourishing in areas of open water left exposed by the recent and rapid melting of ice shelves and glaciers around the Antarctic Peninsula. view more (2009-11-10)
Southern ocean carbon sink weakened
Scientists have observed the first evidence that the Southern Ocean's ability to absorb the major greenhouse gas, carbon dioxide, has weakened by about 15 per cent per decade since 1981. view more (2007-05-21)
NASA Satellites Measure and Monitor Sea Level
For the first time, NASA has the tools and expertise to understand the rate at which sea level is changing, some of the mechanisms that drive those changes and the effects that sea level change may have worldwide. view more (2005-07-11)
Global warming could halt ocean circulation, with harmful results
Absent any climate policy, scientists have found a 70 percent chance of shutting down the thermohaline circulation in the North Atlantic Ocean over the next 200 years, with a 45 percent probability of this occurring in this century. view more (2005-12-08)
Tropical regions to be hardest hit by fisheries shifts caused by climate change: UBC research
Major shifts in fisheries distribution due to climate change will affect food security in tropical regions most adversely, according to a study led by the Sea Around Us Project at The University of British Columbia. view more (2009-10-08)
New findings show increased ocean acidification in Alaska waters
The same things that make Alaska's marine waters among the most productive in the world may also make them the most vulnerable to ocean acidification. view more (2009-08-14)
Stanford researchers say living corals thousands of years old hold clues to past climate changes
Using radiocarbon dating and samples of deep-sea corals snipped from the floor of the Pacific Ocean by a submersible, researchers from Stanford and Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory have discovered that deep-sea corals growing off Hawaii are much older than previously thought-some as old as 4,000 years. view more (2008-02-15)
Amazon powers tropical ocean's carbon sink
Nutrients from the Amazon River spread well beyond the continental shelf and drive carbon capture in the deep ocean, according to the authors of a multi-year study. view more (2008-07-22)
Slippery stretching explains ocean floor formation
For the first time, scientists have found regions of the earth's crust which are stretching apart to form new sea floor. view more (2006-07-31)
Global warming could lead to fast freeze, warns University of Ulster scientist
Dramatic climate change as a result of global warming could happen in a single lifetime - instead of being a slow process evolving over centuries, according to a University of Ulster academic. Professor Marshall McCabe of the School of Environmental Sciences said that given the right set of circumstances, "a climate can flip in a... view more... (2004-05-25)
Decline in uptake of carbon emissions confirmed
A decline in the proportion of carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions absorbed by land and oceans is speeding up the growth of atmospheric CO2, according to a paper published today in the US Journal: Proceedings of the National Academy of Science. view more (2007-10-25)
Climate variability impacts the deep sea
Deep-sea ecosystems occupying 60% of the Earth's surface could be vulnerable to the effects of global warming warn scientists writing in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. view more (2009-11-03)
Study Sheds Light on Earth's CO2 Cycles, Possible Impacts of Climate Change
A research team, including Kent State Professor of Geology Dr. Joseph Ortiz, tracing the origin of the large carbon dioxide increase in Earth's atmosphere at the end of the last ice age has detected two ancient "burps" that originated from the deepest parts of the southern ocean around Antarctica. view more (2007-05-14)
Arctic Sea ice extent is third lowest on record
U.S. satellite measurements show Arctic sea ice extent in 2009 - the area of the Arctic Ocean covered by floating ice - was the third lowest since satellite measurements were first made in 1979. view more (2009-10-07)
£5 Million Oceanography Centre Opens In Liverpool on 23rd June
Natural Environment Research Council A world leading centre for marine research, the Proudman Oceanographic Laboratory, moves to a £5 million, purpose built site on the University of Liverpool campus this week. Scientists at the new laboratory, originally housed in Bidston Observatory on the Wirral, will research and monitor the storm... view more... (2004-06-24)
