The global ocean continues to warm at a concerning rate. Satellite measurements of average sea surface temperatures show February this year was the highest for any month in the 45-year dataset, and ...

New research shows that marine heat waves can reshape ocean food webs, which in turn can slow the transport of carbon to the deep sea and hamper the ocean's ability to buffer against climate change.

Sea ice loss seems to have triggered a decline in the nutrient nitrate, affecting the tiny organisms that form the ...

Robotic floats can continuously collect detailed data about ocean conditions. A new study led by MBARI researchers from the Global Ocean Biogeochemistry Array project—with an interdisciplinary team of ...

Marine heatwaves â those sudden, prolonged episodes of unusually warm ocean temperatures â do more than just stress marine life. They can reshape ocean food webs and slow the flow of carbon from ...

The ocean is losing its greenness, a new study has found: Global chlorophyll concentration, a proxy for phytoplankton biomass, declined over the past two decades, especially in coastal areas.

Scientists are gaining new insights into how plankton supports life on Earth — just as climate change is changing everything. Scientists are gaining new insights into how plankton supports life on ...
