A sudden salinity spike in the Southern Ocean is accelerating Antarctic ice loss and triggering a dangerous climate feedback ...

The French Swiss artist—whose practice focuses on the Arctic, the oceans and the history of the Earth—finds connections with ...

The GEBCO bathymetric compilations are produced using the outputs of a range of regional and global mapping projects, including the Global Multi-Resolution Topography (GMRT) (Ryan et al., 2009), ...

Ocean waters with high temperature and salinity due to Atlantification are relatively dense in the middle of the Arctic's middle layer. Since the early 2000s, the team found that the top layer of the ...

The Arctic Ocean is experiencing some of the world's most drastic warming from climate change. In recent years, scientists have measured dwindling ice cover as record high temperatures inch up and up.

But it is also an unreliable indicator of just how much ice will cover the Arctic Ocean […] July is the peak of melt season in the Arctic. The sun is high and shines for almost 24 hours a day.

As Earth warms, the Arctic Ocean’s ability to absorb carbon dioxide from the atmosphere is waning due to melting permafrost and worsening coastal erosion, according to new research.

Arctic sea ice has declined since the start of the satellite record in 1979. Consequently, Arctic Ocean navigation that was unthinkable during most of the twentieth century is more practical now—but ...

Walsh and Piccard reached the depth of 35,814 feet in an area called Challenger Deep in the Mariana Trench, located in the Pacific Ocean southwest of Guam – that is a mile deeper than Mount ...

New research by an international team of scientists explains what's behind a stalled trend in Arctic Ocean sea ice loss since 2007. The findings indicate that stronger declines in sea ice will ...

These methods help to understand what the whales are doing at depth. However, effective deep ocean technology is still in its infancy. Using VR goggles, Fabrice Schnöller views 360-degree ...

As sea ice disappears, however, the surface of the Arctic Ocean is heating up. The barrier between the layers is degrading, and Atlantic water is mixing more easily into the upper layer.
