Sea lions and dolphins along the California coast are getting sick due to an explosion in the growth of harmful algae, and a NOAA map reveals the areas affected. It shows where cold water is upwelling ...

Upwelling is an oceanographic phenomenon in which deeper, typically colder and nutrient-rich water is transported toward the surface, primarily driven by wind-induced divergence of surface waters and ...

Their work reveals that powerful surges of molten rock, called mantle upwellings, pulse upward beneath a key region in East Africa. These pulses are reshaping the landscape, fueling volcanoes, and ...

HOLLAND, MI - Just in time for the weekend, a cold-water upwelling has occurred at some beaches along the Lake Michigan shoreline, plunging water temperatures into the 50s in some spots. Water ...
