We may not notice it, but marine creatures off the Bay Area coast are already feeling the heat. Ocean temperatures in the north Pacific have been recording historic highs because of what's commonly known as a "blob,
The ocean's smallest engineers, calcifying plankton, quietly regulate Earth's thermostat by capturing and cycling carbon. However, a new review published in Science by an international team led by the Institute of Environmental Science and Technology at the Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona (ICTA-UAB) (Spain) finds that these organisms,
The ocean is doing its best to soak up excess heat caused by greenhouse emissions, but once humanity (hopefully) achieves a net-negative carbon economy, the bill will come due.
Advancements in technology are allowing researchers to determine the extent to which climate change contributed to some extreme weather events.
Global warming poses a significant threat to human society. Rapid and substantial reductions in greenhouse gas emissions are necessary measures to mitigate global warming. However, substantially reduced emissions alone may not be sufficient to achieve the temperature control targets of the Paris Agreement.

A new review reveals how tiny shell-building plankton quietly drive carbon cycling and influence global climate change.
Climate models suggest that climate change could reduce the Southern Ocean's ability to absorb carbon dioxide (CO2). However, observational data actually shows that this ability has seen no significant decline in recent decades.
More than a dozen of the world’s leading ocean science, philanthropic, and stakeholder organizations—led by the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution (WHOI) and Scripps Institution of Oceanography at the University of California San Diego—to champion the ocean’s role in climate action at the 30th United Nations Conference of the Parties (COP30),
