From the sunlit top 200 meters of the sea, plankton carcasses, excrement and molt particles constantly drift toward the depths. As this so-called marine snow sinks, the bits can clump together or ...

The ocean has long acted as a stabilizing force in the climate system, quietly drawing carbon dioxide out of the atmosphere ...

The Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC) is the system of currents responsible for shuttling warm water ...

Doesn’t it feel otherworldly out here?” says Colleen Durkin from the lower deck of the Rachel Carson as it glides out from ...

In the deep ocean, thousands of feet below the surface, it looks like it's snowing. At those depths, the water is filled with slowly drifting particles known as "marine snow," part of a never-ending ...

A 50,000-year record of carbon accumulation in the northeast Indian Ocean, extending to the last ice age, shows that monsoon dynamics — not biological productivity — control long-term carbon ...

Divers from Dokuz Eylül University (DEU) Institute of Marine Sciences and Technology conduct a project to determine the carbon sequestration capacity of the endemic Posidonia Oceanica seagrasses of ...

This photo was taken during a study on the effect of ocean alkalinity enhancement as a way to boost carbon uptake in the ocean. The researchers are studying what happens to a North Sea plankton ...

HALIFAX, Nova Scotia (AP) — From the grounds of a gas-fired power plant on the eastern shores of Canada, a little-known company is pumping a slurry of minerals into the ocean in the name of stopping ...

From the grounds of a gas-fired power plant on the eastern shores of Canada, a little-known company is pumping a slurry of minerals into the ocean in the name of stopping climate change. Whether it’s ...
