A new study by researchers at Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution (WHOI) and their international colleagues found that freshwater runoff from rivers and continental shelf sediments are bringing significant quantities of carbon and trace elements into parts of the Arctic Ocean via the Transpolar Drift—a major surface current that moves water from Siberia across the North Pole to the North Atlantic Ocean.

A warming global climate could cause sudden, potentially catastrophic losses of biodiversity in regions across the globe throughout the 21st century, finds a new UCL-led study.

New research suggests that large-scale environmental factors influence the size of one of the ocean’s most abundant forage species.

Unlike humans, sea turtles and other reptiles like crocodiles do not have sex chromosomes.

The Arctic Ocean increasingly resembles the Atlantic, not only regarding its temperature but also the species that live there.

Often considered desolate, remote, unalterable places, the high seas are, in fact, hotbeds of activity for both people and wildlife.
