As climate change advances, the ocean's overturning circulation is predicted to weaken substantially. With such a slowdown, scientists estimate the ocean will pull down less carbon dioxide from the ...
Researchers at iC3 have found a way to improve records of past high latitude ocean change using tiny plankton shells called foraminifera. By growing these foraminifera under controlled cold-water ...
Phytoplankton, tiny photosynthetic organisms in the ocean, play a crucial role in the global carbon cycle and influence Earth's climate. A new study reveals how variations in the physiology of ...
They drift aimlessly at sea, soaking up sunlight from the sky and nutrients from the deep. Often invisible to the naked eye, these tiny invertebrates form the hidden backbone of ocean ecosystems.
Many plankton journey from the cold, dark depths of our oceans to the surface, only to eventually drift down again into the darkness in a perpetual rhythm. Yet, how single-celled phytoplankton, most ...
The eastern tropical Pacific Ocean is known for its large low-oxygen zones that are increasing in size, putting marine life at risk. New research shows that 15 million years ago, the opposite was true ...

This ocean is losing salt at unprecedented speed, and it might just turn our climate plans upside down
Off the coast of Western Australia, the Southern Indian Ocean is becoming significantly less salty, and scientists say it’s happening at a rate never seen before. This rapid freshening has raised ...
