Ocean microbes keep the planet healthy by cycling nutrients and capturing carbon, but a detailed and precise map of where they live had never been made—until now.

During the last ice age, the Atlantic Ocean's powerful current system remained active and continued to transport warm, salty ...

The last ice age did not shut down Atlantic ocean currents, and that discovery may help explain future climate risks.

Ocean currents driven by wind, water density, tides, ocean floor features, or the Coriolis effect, have an important role on climate regulation and marine ecology. In turn, increasing water surface ...

Narrow bands of ocean covering just over one-third of the world's seas are responsible for absorbing nearly three-quarters of ...

Glaciers are melting at an alarming rate. As this cold fresh water from glacier melt enters lakes and oceans, it can have a big effect on how the water behaves — and on the fish, mammals, and other ...

An interdisciplinary study confirms, for the first time, the oceanographic pathways that transport floating macroalgae from ...

During the last ice age, the Atlantic Ocean’s powerful current system remained active and continued to transport warm, salty water from the tropics to the North Atlantic despite extensive ice cover ...
