"They should not be dumping anything into the ocean." Major companies are betting on a surprising ocean experiment to clean ...

A new publication by researchers from the Department of Earth Sciences at the University of Oxford shows that the ...

That's what a new area of science called ocean alkalinity enhancement (OAE) promises. It's a solution inspired by ...

The Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation is part of this system of global ocean currents. As we burn fossil fuels, the amount of carbon dioxide in Earth’s atmosphere is gradually rising ...

Investing in ocean research, infrastructure, and the ocean studies workforce is needed to understand how a changing ocean ...

A new study finds that ocean acidity may have prevented life on Earth from developing for the planet’s first 500 million ...

That’s caused ocean CO2 levels to rise, making waters more acidic. But seagrasses can provide a buffer against that, too. By reducing the acidity of surrounding waters, seagrass ecosystems help ...

If approved, the effort would test the possibility of using the ocean to remove carbon dioxide from the atmosphere.

The other half is removed from the atmosphere by terrestrial ecosystems and the ocean. Without these two repositories called “carbon sinks” by scientists, carbon dioxide levels in the atmosphere would ...

A new study reveals a troubling decline in ocean productivity, posing serious threats to fisheries and the planet’s climate ...

A University of Washington study looked at how a major current in the Atlantic Ocean that includes the Gulf Stream will respond to a doubling of carbon dioxide from preindustrial levels.

A new publication by researchers from the Department of Earth Sciences at the University of Oxford shows that the ...
