The climate is warming, and much of the increase is due to greenhouse gases, the most prevalent gas being carbon dioxide. Methods for removing existing carbon from the atmosphere are in the works, and ...

Global warming poses a significant threat to human society. Rapid and substantial reductions in greenhouse gas emissions are necessary measures to mitigate global warming. However, substantially ...

I’ve spent hundreds of days at sea. In the high winds and towering waves of the Southern Ocean around Antarctica, I have worked alongside fellow ocean scientists to understand the impacts of climate ...

Satellite data on chlorophyll concentrations in the northeastern Pacific Ocean uses warm colors to show areas of higher phytoplankton abundance. The small patch of bright red and yellow in the bottom ...

Scientists exploring ways to use the ocean as a carbon sink are running into a problem that could limit the technology’s long-term effectiveness: the nutrients that marine life needs to pull carbon ...

Marine chemist Ken Buesseler works on a "clap-trap" mooring during the Vertical Transport In the Global Ocean (VERTIGO) project in 2004. As its name implies, this study looks at how ...

Iron-rich dust launched into the air by winds swirls around the Southern Ocean. Understanding how iron’s chemistry shifts during its journey from earth to air to sea will be important for developing ...

The Nature Index 2025 Research Leaders — previously known as Annual Tables — reveal the leading institutions and countries/territories in the natural and health sciences, according to their output in ...
