Long-term data from a deep-sea observatory shows hurricanes transport reef sediments and pollutants to the deep ocean, ...

Low atmospheric carbon dioxide concentrations during glacial periods must have been accompanied by changes in surface-ocean carbonate chemistry. But it is unclear whether concurrent changes in the ...

Bringing a novel approach to a classic problem, researchers have revealed how changes in ocean chemistry over the past 2 billion years have left an imprint on volcanic rocks formed in island arcs.

Scripps Ocean Atmosphere Research Simulator is a unique installation that allows scientists to simulate varying ocean environments by controlling winds, waves, water chemistry, temperature, light and ...

Ocean sciences span the physics, chemistry, and biology of marine systems. The field encompasses ocean circulation, energy dissipation, marine biology, ecology, biogeochemical cycles, water mass ...

(CNN) — More than half a billion years ago on a frigid, ice-covered Earth, glaciers stirred up ingredients for complex life by bulldozing land minerals and then depositing them in the ocean ...
