Researchers report on newly discovered interactions between the atmosphere, sea ice and the ocean in the journal Nature's Scientific Reports.

Researchers recently found the fossil record of the earliest North American coral species that reappeared after the Triassic-Jurassic mass extinction event.

The loss of sea ice over Antarctic waters in some areas has led to the increased growth of seabed life, which act as an important and unexpected carbon sink.

New research demonstrates that a key organism in the ocean’s food web will start reproducing at high speed as carbon dioxide levels rise, with no way to stop when nutrients become scarce.

When you fill a sink, the water rises at the same rate to the same height in every corner. That's not the way it works with our rising seas.

The second ice age during the Cryogenian period was not followed by the sudden and chaotic melting-back of the ice as previously thought, but ended with regular advances and retreats of the ice.

New findings have implications for recent carbon dioxide rise and melting glaciers

Massive aquifers underneath deserts could hold more carbon than all the plants on land, according to the new research.

A new study shows that huge influxes of fresh water from icebergs during the last ice age increased the production of methane in the tropical wetlands.

A new NASA study finds the last remaining section of Antarctica's Larsen B Ice Shelf, which partially collapsed in 2002, is quickly weakening and is likely to disintegrate completely before the end of the decade.
