The unusual holes in the ocean didn't reveal an underwater volcano or some hydrothermal vents, but rather something remarkable.

The rate of ocean warming has more than quadrupled over the past four decades, a new study has shown. Ocean temperatures were rising at about 0.06 degrees Celsius per decade in the late 1980s, but are ...

These exceptionally strong winds were fueled by the collision of cold air and unusually warm ocean temperatures, which enabled the storm to intensify significantly as it developed. According to ...

Unlike some other Antarctic ice shelves, FRIS currently appears stable in our warming world. However, previous ocean modeling has shown that relatively warm water from the deep sea could threaten the ...

Sometimes, thunderstorms follow. The next ingredient is warm ocean water. As the tropical wave travels over waters above 26.5°C (about 80°F), warm, moist air starts rising upwards. This movement ...

A polar vortex that has hit much of the U.S. with ice and snow has dealt a glancing blow to Florida and its manatee population.

An unusually powerful and resilient marine heat wave contributed to keeping the region toasty. But it wasn’t the only factor.

The burning of fossil fuels, deforestation, agriculture, and other activities cause an increase in greenhouse gases like CO 2, which causes the earth to warm. The ocean absorbs more than 93% of the ...
