Slowing ocean current could ease Arctic warming — a little
The Arctic is warming at three to four times the global average. However, new research suggests the slowing of a key ocean current could reduce projected Arctic warming by up…
Ships now spew less sulfur, but warming has sped up
Last year marked Earth’s warmest year on record. A new study finds that some of 2023’s record warmth, nearly 20 percent, likely came as a result of reduced sulfur emissions…
Millions of years for plants to recover from global warming
Scientists often seek answers to humanity’s most pressing challenges in nature. When it comes to global warming, geological history offers a unique, long-term perspective. Earth’s geological history is spiked by…
Link between global warming and rising sea levels
A McGill-led study suggests that Earth’s natural forces could substantially reduce Antarctica’s impact on rising sea levels, but only if carbon emissions are swiftly reduced in the coming decades. By…
Warming of Antarctic deep-sea waters contribute to sea level rise in North Atlantic, study finds
Analysis of mooring observations and hydrographic data suggest the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation deep water limb in the North Atlantic has weakened. Two decades of continual observations provide a greater…
Heat stress from ocean warming harms octopus vision
While climate change has led to an increase in the abundance of octopuses, heat stress from projected ocean warming could impair their vision and impact the survivability of the species.…
Study explores impacts of Arctic warming on daily weather patterns in the U.S.
Arctic sea ice is shrinking as the world continues to warm, and a new study led by researchers at Penn State may provide a better understanding of how the loss…
Ice age could help predict oceans’ response to global warming
A team of scientists led by a Tulane University oceanographer has found that deposits deep under the ocean floor reveal a way to measure the ocean oxygen level and its…
Chasing the light: Study finds new clues about warming in the Arctic
The Arctic, Earth’s icy crown, is experiencing a climate crisis like no other. It’s heating up at a furious pace — four times faster than the rest of our planet.…
Global warming intensifies typhoon-induced extreme precipitation over East Asia
Last year, Typhoon Hinnamnor — which caused 36 fatalities — gained notoriety as the first super typhoon that developed at a high latitude as 25°N since Korea Meteorological Administration records…
