It’s not just ocean heat that’s affecting marine life – new research shows extremely cold events are welling up and causing mass mortalities. And the same planet-warming pollution that’s driving the ...

Scientists have spotted something dramatically unusual in the ocean, and it could be a warning sign of things to come. Warm air dances with cold air; cold water chases warm water. It's all a part of a ...

The cold water upwell, which is vital to marine life, did not materialize for the first time on record. Researchers are trying to figure out why. By Sachi Kitajima Mulkey Each year between January and ...

A subpolar gyre is a large-scale ocean current system located at high latitudes created by a persistent region of low atmospheric pressure. These gyres circulate water in a cyclonic direction – ...

Yesterday, an international team of researchers from various disciplines set off aboard the German research vessel METEOR for an expedition along the west coast of Africa, led by the GEOMAR Helmholtz ...

The Early Triassic represents a critical interval for ecosystem recovery following the end-Permian mass extinction. This interval was marked by extreme and highly volatile global conditions, including ...

Tropical upwelling regions play an active role in climate and oceanic biogeochemical cycles as well as supporting the most productive oceanic food chains. They support the world’s largest fisheries ...

HOLLAND, MI - Just in time for the weekend, a cold-water upwelling has occurred at some beaches along the Lake Michigan shoreline, plunging water temperatures into the 50s in some spots. Water ...
