More chaotic weather conditions are ahead. Last year, heatwaves caused the world's rivers to reach their lowest levels in 33 years, while other parts of the planet were hit by floods.
An unexplained hum puzzled seismologists around the world - who joined forces to solve the mystery. Climate change was the triggering factor, according to the study.
Rising sea levels are a looming disaster that risks hitting Pacific island nations particularly hard. This is the message from UN Secretary-General António Guterres at a summit of Pacific leaders: - I am in Tonga to issue a global SOS - Save our Seas - on rising sea levels.
A small Pacific island nation has pushed for the world's highest court to rule on states' climate change obligations. It is described as an important step in an increasingly intense fight for climate justice.
Warmer seawater combined with acidification could pose a major threat to ocean sharks. Their eggs develop much more poorly, leading to the death of the embryo, according to a new study.
Every year we're seeing more and more turtle stranding partially because of an increase in awareness but also because there are more extreme weather events, there are more storms there are more extreme temperature changes and strong winds probably a consequence of changing weather systems, more extreme weather systems that are indicative of climate change and all of those things for us lead to increase strandings.
They have been blown up in nuclear tests and poisoned when people fished with cyanide. However, the absolute biggest threat to the future of coral reefs is global warming, according to researcher Fredrik Moberg.
More than half of the world's mangrove forests are at risk of collapse - which would have major consequences for both people and the climate, according to a new report.
Scientists warn that the significant coral bleaching, which the American weather agency NOAA warned about earlier this year, has spread to several places on earth.
An increasing number of journalists and media outlets covering climate change are subjected to various forms of physical, verbal threats, harassment, and attacks. This is shown by new statistics from the UN agency Unesco.
When we talk about climate change, it is usually about warming the atmosphere and changing weather systems, but the oceans are also affected and perhaps even worse.
2023 marked the warmest year on record with unprecedented climatic extremes from sea level rise to shrinking glaciers. Discover a ray of hope amidst these climate challenges.
The aggressive bull shark has increased sharply in a coastal area in the United States. Scientists link it to rising water temperatures – and predict more shark-human interactions as the planet warms.
Fish behavior, toxic algae, and the role of the sea in climate. These are some of the topics that marine research can address. Diverse subjects, but with a common goal: to better understand what happens beneath the surface.
Our planet relies on the oceans as climate regulators. At the same time, the effects of our emissions are most evident in the oceans. Today, eutrophication, climate change, ocean acidification, and invasive species are some of the challenges the oceans face.
Ringed seal pups become homeless as the Baltic Sea's ice shrinks. Now it is being tested to build caves out of plastic and plywood to make the cubs survive in an increasingly hot climate.
Hundreds of guillemots have been found dead along the west coast. A harsher climate and overfishing seem to be the cause of the birds starving to death.
When the polar bears are forced to spend more time on land than on the ice, the risk of them starving to death increases, a new study shows. This shows, say the researchers, that Polar Bears will find it difficult to adapt to a changing climate with warmer summers. "Polar bears are not grizzly bears wearing white coats. They're very, very different." said Charles Robbins, director of the Washington State University Bear Center and co-author of the study in the journal Nature Communications.
Grönland tappar närmare 30 miljoner ton is – varje timme. Enligt forskarna bakom en ny studie kan det innebära att Grönlands istäcke har nått en oåterkallelig brytpunkt.
Awareness of the sea's importance to the planet has penetrated the finest salons. The World Economic Forum (WEF) in Davos brings together some of the world's most powerful decision-makers in politics and business. Business leaders, international politicians and "prominent intellectuals" discuss what the organizer defines as the most pressing issues for the world. This year, the environment and the sea are high on the agenda.
Mie's research focuses on the evolutionary and behavioral ecology of marine zooplankton. Despite their microscopic size and remote habitat, Mie aims to enhance our understanding of their role in the ocean ecosystem.
Citizens of the tiny Pacific island nation of Tuvalu, which is at risk of sinking under the sea, will be granted "special rights" to live and work in Australia.
Many of the world's coastal cities are not at all prepared to cope with changing weather conditions. This is stated by an international research group that wants to see climate adaptation gain momentum. Another research group warns of more powerful hurricanes across the Atlantic.
The sea ice around Antarctica is decreasing and is significantly less than what is normal for the month of September.
