Climate change’s rising seas may threaten tens of millions more people than scientists and government planners originally thought because of mistaken research assumptions on how high coastal waters al ...

Researchers at Utrecht University report that, in high-resolution ocean simulations, an abrupt northward shift of the Gulf Stream near Cape Hatteras precedes a modeled collapse of the Atlantic ...

Robotic and autonomous underwater vehicles have collected vast quantities of footage from the deep sea, but most of it hasn’t ...

A new study found that many of our predictions on sea-level rise have been predicated on inaccurate starting numbers. In many places, especially Southeast Asia and the Pacific, it's significantly ...

Models show that as the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation gets weaker, the Gulf Stream will drift northwards. There ...

Ancient fossils show how much warming tropical oceans can handle before plankton collapse, offering clues about future ...

A new study in the journal Nature says most sea level rise research may have underestimated coastal water heights by an ...

Another grim Arctic discovery has revealed that extreme melting events are affecting the Greenland ice sheet with increasing frequency as the global temperature rises.

Extremely low sea ice levels in the Arctic and Antarctica signal a "new normal" that may accelerate global warming and disrupt ocean currents, on top of the consequences for people and wildlife that ...
