The ocean is one of our strongest climate allies, absorbing a large share of the carbon we emit. Yet we still lack a full understanding of how this natural defense functions
Over 200 defence personnel came together on Australia’s east coast to test cutting-edge autonomous capabilities as part of an AUKUS Pillar II Maritime Big Play exercise.
These maps provide the first update of the region for 40 years, highlighting unseen features as well as how the glaciers are retreating due to climate change.
The ocean's color has changed significantly over the last 20 years, and the global trend is likely a consequence of human-induced climate change, report scientists at MIT, the National Oceanography Center in the U.K., and elsewhere.
The latest climate report by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change states that the international community is very unlikely to limit the global temperature rise to 1.5°C, if immediate action is not taken.
This massive ice stream is already in a phase of fast retreat (a "collapse" when viewed on geological timescales) leading to widespread concern about exactly how much, or how fast, it may give up its ice to the ocean.
Greenland's rapidly melting ice sheet will eventually raise global sea level by at least 10.6 inches (27 centimeters)—more than twice as much as previously forecast—according to a study published Monday.
