On land, we're familiar with heat waves and cold snaps. But the deep sea also experiences prolonged periods of hot and cold.

Researchers have discovered that tiny ocean organisms are transported to deeper waters by currents called intrusions, playing ...

Subtle temperature differences at the ocean surface allow more carbon dioxide (CO2) to be absorbed, new research shows.

For a year and a half now, the upper layer of the world’s oceans has ... energy stored from the sea surface down through the ocean depths. When the seas are warm, more water evaporates at ...

"We want to determine whether Europa has the potential to support simple life in the deep ocean, beneath its icy layer," he ...

the findings also suggest the depth of the "surface mixed-layer" (region of turbulence at the surface of the ocean) has shallowed as the ocean rapidly warmed in the last decade. "It's important to ...
