New study reveals surprising link between West Antarctic Ice Sheet (WAIS) retreat and algae growth over the past 500,000 years.

The University of Plymouth is part of a consortium that has launched the first stage of a dedicated maritime autonomy sensor and weather test range in Plymouth Sound.

The first study from GreenDrill—an ambitious project to recover rock samples buried thousands of feet beneath the Greenland Ice Sheet—finds that Greenland’s Prudhoe Dome ice cap had fully melted around 7,000 years ago, much more recently than previously thought.

A new study suggests the world’s oxygen depleted seas may have a chance of returning to higher oxygen concentrations in the centuries to come, despite our increasingly warming climate.

Wetlands make up only about six percent of the land area but contain about 30 percent of the terrestrial organic carbon pool.

Colorado’s warm and dry winters have tipped the balance in a long-running ecological tug-of-war.

Some tropical land regions may warm more dramatically than previously predicted, as climate change progresses, according to a new CU Boulder study that looks millions of years into Earth’s past.

Researchers at Concordia have developed a new method of measuring the amount of usable water stored in snowpacks.

In parts of the Arctic, polar bears are in decline as sea ice, which they depend on to hunt, disappears. That is not the case, however, on the Norwegian island of Svalbard, where bears have actually managed to grow more plump even as ice melts away.

To reduce air pollution associated with ocean transport, the International Maritime Organization tightened restrictions on sulfur content in ship fuel, resulting in an 80% reduction in emissions by 2020.
