Unusually high sea surface temperatures off the East Coast of Australia appear to have swamped the anticipated West Pacific drought promoting effects of the 2023-24 El Nino.
“If the ability for fish to work together is detrimentally affected it could determine the survival of particular species in the oceans of the future...
The warming predicted by the latest climate models in response to a doubling of atmospheric CO2 averages close to 4C. Using an updated model – and even assuming all warming has been due to human activity – Spencer and...
"We still do not fully understand why this happens, but our findings clearly show that protecting fish size diversity and large fish can increase their resilience to climate change...
Sharks survived the dinosaur killer, the Cretaceous-Paleogene extinction event which wiped out 80% of Earth's species, but apparently our gentle 0.1C / decade global warming is a grave threat to their continued survival.
Researchers predict a major marine heat wave in the Pacific Ocean could prove disastrous to the fragile coral reefs along Hawaii’s Papa Bay and similar coastlines...

Unlike its counterpart, West Antarctica, which has long been decimated by melting ice caps, East Antarctica used to be a safe zone - something scientists could depend on as a constant while they solved the more pressing destruction...
Last year was the hottest year on record for Earth's oceans, according to two scientists at the Institute of Atmospheric Physics at the Chinese Academy of Sciences (IAP/CAS)...
We should be thankful for our oceans. In addition to providing us with food and recreation and a host of other services, they absorb up to one quarter of our carbon dioxide emissions. As a result, climate change is not nearly...
Coral reefs aren’t just home to a whole ecosystem of sea life, they also protect nearby land from wave surges - but the 2014 National Climate Assessment reports that reefs are in big trouble...
From CSIRO, but sadly just with modeling, not empirical analysis: Rapid upper ocean warming linked to declining aerosols Australian scientists have identified causes of a rapid warming in the upper subtropical oceans of the...
A new report from Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory has stated that the simultaneous warming of the upper layers of all seven seas over the past 50 years cannot be explained by natural climate variability alone...
