Ocean heatwaves are hiding months of extra warming

Marine heatwaves may be only the most intense part of much longer warming events, with elevated temperatures sometimes lingering for months. Researchers found that conventional measurements underestimate total heat exposure by more than 150% on average, potentially overlooking a major source of stress on marine ecosystems.

New global maps chart 40 years of ocean heat and acidification extremes

Between 2014 and 2015, a marine heatwave known as “The Blob” warmed an area of the Pacific Ocean larger than the United States and Mexico combined. The massive event fueled toxic algae blooms, collapsed fisheries, killed off millions of emaciated seabirds, sent dead fin whales (Balaenoptera physalus) and sea otters washing up on Alaska and […]

Global coral reefs get less time to recover as oceans heat up, report finds

The world’s coral reefs are losing both hard coral cover and, just as critically, the time they need to recover between increasingly frequent marine heat waves, according to the most comprehensive global reef assessment yet. Released Aug. 31 by the Global Coral Reef Monitoring Network (GCRMN), the “Status of Coral Reefs of the World: 2025” […]

Scientists say a critical Atlantic Ocean current is weakening and the effects could be global

Scientists have found strong observational evidence that a key part of the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation has been weakening across a wide stretch of ocean for nearly two decades. The slowdown could eventually reshape weather patterns, rainfall, storms, winters, and coastal sea levels around the Atlantic.

Global ocean breaks records with 100 days of heat as El Niño adds new threat

For 100 consecutive days between June 2 and Sept. 10, the global ocean outside of polar regions sustained record high average sea surface temperatures, according to data from the Climate Reanalyzer, a platform overseen by the University of Maine’s Climate Change Institute in the U.S. On each of the 100 days, sea surface temperatures exceeded […]

9/ Ever wondered how such a soft body survives the immense pressure at the depth of 5km?

  1. The "No Air" Rule (Zero Pressure Gradient)If you take a balloon down to 5km, it will collapse. If you take a human down, our air-filled lungs and sinuses will crush. But water itself is practically incompressible. Deep-sea creatures like the Barbie Pig have absolutely no gas-filled cavities in their bodies.

Heat is destroying Australia’s underwater forests. Seaweed biobanks could help save them

Many of Australia’s shimmering seaweed forests are disappearing as the oceans get hotter. It’s time for an insurance policy.
