Forming tightly woven populations, these bush-like corals offer a refuge to a myriad of marine species.
If fossil fuel burning stopped, emerging research suggests air temperatures could level off sooner than expected. But that doesn’t mean the damage stops.
A new report shed light on the migratory routes of 1,000 whales worldwide.
A sea level scientist explains the two main ways climate change is threatening the coasts.
Clean-up operations after a spill can miss large quantities of the oil, with severe risks for marine habitats, fish and birds.
For the opening of the One Ocean Summit in Brest from February 9 to 11, 2022, France’s marine research institute looks at promising avenues of research to protect the planet’s largest ecosystem.
All nations must ramp up efforts to preserve and restore their coastal regions – and the time to start is right now.
Winters are getting warmer, yet Bostonians were digging out from nearly 2 feet of snow from a historic blizzard in late January. Why is the Northeast seeing more big snowstorms like this?
The fossil of a gigantic ichthyosaur was recently discovered in the UK. It wasn’t the only creature lurking in the Jurassic oceans.
Tsunamis aren’t just bigger-than-average waves. Triggered by undersea earthquakes or volcanic eruptions like the one in Tonga, they are fast, massive and potentially destructive. Here’s why.
While it may be possible to teach young infants basic motor skills in water, infants cannot, and should not, be expected to know how to swim or to be able to react appropriately in emergencies.
While surface temperatures were about the 6th warmest on record in 2021, the upper oceans were at their hottest – and they’re a stronger indicator of global warming. A top climate scientist explains.
We depend on the oceans yet they have no dedicated place in democratic discussion.
Australia’s coastline spans more than 33,000km – and there are myriad marvellous marine animals we share this space with.
The ocean is naturally noisy. Here’s what all the buzz is about.
