About 346 million tonnes or around 250 million elephants. Using data from BGC-Argo floats, scientists have mapped the global ...

Scientists discover a hidden "ocean skin" that traps more CO2 than imagined. Could it change climate predictions?

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

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

A gigantic space rock that slammed into Earth more than three billion years ago grievously wounded the biosphere—and then ...

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

New advanced imagery reveals the existence of a second impact following the event associated with the extinction of the ...

NASA's Europa Clipper probe blasted off from Florida on Monday, bound for an icy moon of Jupiter to discover whether it has ...

Names associated with the ocean (or water in general) hold a special place in my heart. One of my friends who lives with his family out in California lives near the ocean, and all of them have names ...

It will see how this icy subsurface is composed, and possibly, possibly, detect where the ice meets the ocean. (Europa's ice shell is likely some 10 to 15 miles, or 15 to 25 kilometers ...

The frozen world is roughly the same size as our moon but hides a vast ocean beneath its icy exterior, potentially containing twice the amount of water as all of Earth’s oceans combined.

Abstract: Depth hoar (DH) forms when there is a strong temperature gradient in the snowpack. In the Antarctic Ice Sheet (AIS), DH mostly forms during summer insolation. The seasonal regularity ...
