A recent study in Nature Geoscience offers important new insights into the hidden role of ancient groundwater beneath the ocean floor—and how it may have interacted with ice sheets and rising sea ...

The deep-sea remains one of the most unexplored regions on Earth, due in large part to the immense challenges posed by its depth and vastness. Yet, the recent advent of Artificial Intelligence (AI) ...

A new study has identified a natural process that may have helped keep Earth's climate stable for the past 60 million years.

In 2024, the hottest year in recorded history, sea levels rose at a rate 35% more than expected, according to a new report from NASA. The space agency explained on its website that the acceleration of ...

As the global temperature increases, Earth's oceans are experiencing a huge shift. In addition to commonly known effects, such as melting of ice caps and thermal expansion, there is an invisible ...

Researchers found that eroded lava rubble beneath the South Atlantic can trap enormous amounts of CO2 for tens of millions of years. These porous breccia deposits store far more carbon than previously ...

When polar ice sheets melt, the effects ripple across the world. The melting ice raises average global sea level, alters ocean currents and affects temperatures in places far from the poles. But ...

Sea levels along the world’s coastlines are much higher than previously assumed, more than 3 feet in some regions, according to new research, raising alarms that the world is underestimating the ...

Almost all research on the impacts of future sea-level rise has assumed today’s sea levels are lower than they actually are due to a “methodological blind spot”. That means flooding and erosion will ...

Even as global warming causes sea levels to rise worldwide, sea levels around Greenland will likely drop, according to a new paper published in Nature Communications. "The Greenland coastline is going ...

After 74 days at sea, scientists have completed a pioneering drilling expedition off Nantucket, confirming the presence of large freshwater aquifers beneath the ocean floor. The focus now shifts to ...
