The ocean surface boundary layer (OSBL) is a dynamic region that mediates the exchange of momentum, heat, and gases between the atmosphere and the ocean. Recent advances in observational and ...

Han’s team estimates that the area covered by salty seawater in this Southern Indian Ocean region has shrunk by about 30% over the past 60 years. They describe it as the fastest freshening seen ...

The southern Indian Ocean off the west coast of Australia is becoming less salty at an astonishing rate, largely due to ...

A new paper from an international team of more than 50 researchers, including four from UC San Diego’s Scripps Institution of Oceanography, proposes the creation of a global observing network of ...

Subtle temperature differences at the ocean surface allow more carbon dioxide (CO₂) to be absorbed, new research shows. Scientists studied the “ocean skin” – a sliver less than 2 mm deep at the ocean ...

Climate change is rapidly freshening one of Earth’s saltiest ocean regions in the Southern Indian Ocean, potentially disrupting circulation.

A groundbreaking study in the journal Science, has unveiled how deep ocean currents—known as global overturning circulation—play a pivotal role in shaping the diversity and function of microbial life ...

A new analysis of data from NASA’s Galileo spacecraft reveals a subsurface “ocean” of magma–either molten or partially molten–beneath the surface of Jupiter’s volcanic moon Io. The finding, from a ...

Seismic data collected by NASA suggests the amount of water hidden in the red planet's crust would cover its surface in a global ocean. Evidence is mounting that a secret lies beneath the dusty red ...

New research shows that a fragile clay layer beneath the Japan Trench played a key role in the extreme seafloor movement ...
