It’s not just ocean heat that’s affecting marine life – new research shows extremely cold events are welling up and causing mass mortalities. And the same planet-warming pollution that’s driving the ...
The failure of a vital ocean upwelling has sparked concerns of catastrophic effects for life, according to scientists. Every year, between December and April, northerly winds create a rising current ...
Scientists have spotted something dramatically unusual in the ocean, and it could be a warning sign of things to come. Warm air dances with cold air; cold water chases warm water. It's all a part of a ...
Yesterday, an international team of researchers from various disciplines set off aboard the German research vessel METEOR for an expedition along the west coast of Africa, led by the GEOMAR Helmholtz ...
A subpolar gyre is a large-scale ocean current system located at high latitudes created by a persistent region of low atmospheric pressure. These gyres circulate water in a cyclonic direction – ...
Tropical upwelling regions play an active role in climate and oceanic biogeochemical cycles as well as supporting the most productive oceanic food chains. They support the world’s largest fisheries ...
