Scientists, who have spent more than a decade examining the impact of artificial light at night on the world's coasts and oceans, have shown that more than one-fifth of the global ocean -- an area ...

Quantifying carbon export to the deep ocean is critical for understanding changes in Earth’s climate. Measurements in the ...

Researchers look to extremes in the past to study how the system reacts to imbalances. They detail an overlooked mechanism for how the ocean can help stabilize massive releases of carbon into the ...

Researchers are trying to rebuild sea ice above the Arctic Circle so it can reflect the sun’s warming rays, slowing climate ...

A haze of ice crystals in the air created a halo around the low sun as three snowmobiles thundered onto the sea ice on a ...

Climate change–accelerated seaweed growth could cause seaweed-dependent microbes to proliferate and consume more oxygen, ...

The Arctic is warming much faster than other parts of the world, profoundly affecting the indigenous populations, including with a decline in Chinook salmon.

Phytoplankton form the foundation of Arctic food webs. These microscopic organisms are more than just food for marine life, they are essential to carbon cycling and climate regulation. As sea ice ...

NASA's Curiosity rover has uncovered evidence of a past carbon cycle on Mars. This breakthrough provides scientists with new insights into the Red Planet's potential to have hosted life. This ...
