New research shows climate change can drive sudden ocean cooling too. This can have devastating effects on marine life such as bull sharks and manta rays.
Seabirds journey vast distances across the Earth’s seascapes to find food and to breed. This means their biology, particularly their breeding success, can reveal what’s happening in our oceans.
Perubahan iklim telah membuat lautan tropis terlalu panas bagi beberapa spesies. Ketika berpindah ke arah kutub, akan berdampak besar bagi ekosistem dan mata pencaharian manusia.
Climate change has already made tropical oceans too hot for some marine species to survive. As they flee towards the poles, the implications for ecosystems and human livelihoods will be profound.
Environmental protections in Australia are built on assumptions about where animals live – and it’s harming our wildlife.
How will climate change affect life in the oceans? New research shows that the answer is likely good and bad.
