A rapid shift in ocean currents could imperil the world?s largest ice shelf. Roughly the size of Spain, the Ross Ice Shelf stabilizes major glaciers along Antarctica?s coast ? and is at risk ...
Ocean - Earthdata
6 Oct 2024 at 3:01am
Earth is known as the water planet. The global ocean covers more than 70% of Earth?s surface and contains 97% of the planet?s water. Less than 3% of water on Earth is stored in our lakes, rivers, glaciers, and icesheets. The ocean is a vast and critical reservoir that supports a diversity of life, helps regulate climate, provides a large ...

More than 70 percent of Earth?s surface is covered by ocean. But more than 80 percent of that marine realm is unknown. A crew aboard one of the world?s most advanced research vessels is ...
Twilight Zone - Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution
5 Oct 2024 at 1:17pm
The ocean twilight zone is a layer of water that stretches around the globe. It lies 200 to 1,000 meters (about 650 to 3,300 feet) below the ocean surface, just beyond the reach of sunlight. Also known as the midwater or mesopelagic, the twilight zone is cold and its light is dim, but with flashes of bioluminescence?light produced by living ...
How ocean carbon dioxide removal could slow climate change - Science News
6 Oct 2024 at 11:00am
The ocean is Earth?s climate hero. For decades, ocean waters have helped hold back the juggernaut of global warming, absorbing at least a third of the carbon dioxide emitted by human activities ...
Ocean Acidification - Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution
2 Oct 2024 at 9:56pm
What is Ocean Acidification? Since the beginning of the Industrial Revolution, when humans began burning coal in large quantities, the world?s ocean water has gradually become more acidic. Like global warming, this phenomenon, which is known as ocean acidification, is a direct consequence of increasing levels of carbon dioxide (CO 2) in Earth ...
