Glaciers once inched toward the sea, gouging rocks. When the ice masses melted, they infused oceans with nutrients that may ...

At any rate, the carbonate chemistry of the ocean's big deep reservoir seems to have been quite similar during glacial and interglacial stages 8,9,10,11, in spite of the inferred changes in the ...

New Curtin University research has revealed how massive ancient glaciers acted like giant bulldozers, reshaping Earth's ...

Today we are witnessing rapid global sea level rise attributable mostly to climate change–driven melting of ice sheets and ...

Massive glaciers from Earth’s past reshaped the planet in ways that paved the way for complex life. As they moved, they ...

"They should not be dumping anything into the ocean." Major companies are betting on a surprising ocean experiment to clean ...

Global warming is causing alterations in ocean chemistry and many oceanic processes, and it is threatening many species of marine animals that cannot cope with higher temperatures. Overfishing is ...

What is the 'other carbon dioxide problem'? How are humans driving changes in the chemistry of the ocean, and what might this mean for marine ecosystems in the future?

The whitefin swellshark has been assessed by the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) as Critically Endangered for a number of years due to declines largely attributed to fishing ...

Scripps Ocean Atmosphere Research Simulator is a unique installation that allows scientists to simulate varying ocean environments by controlling winds, waves, water chemistry, temperature, light and ...

Computer models reveal how human-driven climate change will dramatically overhaul critical nutrient cycles in the ...

A change in rock chemistry around that time provides the earliest known chemical evidence for the weathering of Earth’s continents and the subsequent delivery of nutrients from land to ocean ...
