This data image shows the monthly average sea surface temperature for May 2015. Between 2013 and 2016, a large mass of unusually warm ocean water…
The Arctic is one of the most rapidly changing regions in the world. Diminishing sea ice, thawing permafrost and melting glaciers are all direct effects…

The prevailing theory has been that sea ice can act as a lid to keep carbon in the ocean from escaping back to the atmosphere.…
The CENOGRID shows Earth has experienced four distinct climate states over the last 66 million years. The detailed climatic changes of the past can be…

Earth’s oceans help to slow global warming by absorbing carbon from our atmosphere – but fully observing this crucial process in the upper ocean and…
Sea ice can act as an agent of climate change on a variety of timescales and spatial scales—it’s not just a passive responder to change.…
