In warming waters, the demand for oxygen of many fish species will increase, progressively approaching the maximum oxygen supply capacity of their respiratory organs. New…
There are two main elements to observe when assessing sea level rise. One is the loss of the ice on land, e.g., melting mountain glaciers…
Marine Heatwaves Becoming More Intense, More Frequent When thick, the surface layer of the ocean acts as a buffer to extreme marine heating—but a new…
