Researchers warn Antarctica is undergoing abrupt changes that could trigger global consequences. Melting ice, collapsing ice ...

The Southern Ocean can release stored heat during cooling, creating short-term warming. This discovery shows climate recovery ...

Scientists have used the geological record of the deep sea to discover a connection between the orbits of Earth and Mars, past global warming patterns and the speeding up of deep ocean circulation.

In the darkness of the deep ocean, where pressure crushes and light fails, an expedition has found an astonishing array of ...

Bottom a) temperature (°C) and c) salinity (psu) from the observational climatological mean on the continental shelf over 1975–2012 based on ref. 72 and in the abyss over 1955–2017 based on the World ...

Mars may be around 140 million miles away from Earth, but the red planet is influencing our deep oceans by helping drive “giant whirlpools,” according to new research. Scientists analyzed sediments, ...

A groundbreaking study in the journal Science, has unveiled how deep ocean currents—known as global overturning circulation—play a pivotal role in shaping the diversity and function of microbial life ...

Mars' distant orbit may have more of an impact on our planet than we first thought. The interaction between Earth and Mars's gravitational influences may be linked to a 2.4-million-year cycle of ocean ...

When it comes to the ocean’s response to global warming, we’re not in entirely uncharted waters. A UC Riverside study shows that episodes of extreme heat in Earth’s past caused the exchange of waters ...
