A new 30-year analysis reveals that melting land ice is now the main force behind rising global sea levels. Researchers ...

A new study published in Nature has found that sea levels along the world’s coastlines are already significantly higher than the majority of scientific assessments have assumed. The finding, which ...

Ancient fossils show how much warming tropical oceans can handle before plankton collapse, offering clues about future ...

We all depend on the oceans. They regulate climate over long timescales and affect weather on land. They also host vast ecosystems, provide nutrition for billions, and support livelihoods and cultures ...

Greenland sits at the center of a striking climate contrast, even as sea levels rise across almost every other part of Earth. As global temperatures climb, glaciers and ice sheets melt faster, and ...

A recent study has made microscopic fossils messengers from a warmer world, showing that the tropical Pacific Ocean could be much more stable—and robust—than previously thought. Analyzing nitrogen ...

Global sea levels have not continued to rise at the rates predicted by many scientists — and there is no evidence that climate change has contributed to any such acceleration, a new first-of-its-kind ...

The world's oceans absorbed a record amount of heat in 2025, an international team of scientists said Friday, further priming conditions for sea level rise, violent storms, and coral death. The heat ...

Global warming is accelerating at roughly double the pace of a decade ago, raising concerns for Earth systems, biodiversity ...

Scientists studying ancient ocean fossils found that the Arabian Sea was better oxygenated 16 million years ago, even though the planet was warmer than today. Oxygen levels only plunged millions of ...

The West Coast will see an ocean several inches higher in coming decades, with most of California expected to get sea levels a half foot higher by 2030, according a report released Friday. The study ...
