Scientists find far higher than expected rate of underwater glacial melting
Eurekalert
Tidewater glaciers, the massive rivers of ice that end in the ocean, may be melting underwater much faster than previously thought, according to a Rutgers co-authored study that used robotic kayaks. The findings, which challenge current frameworks for analyzing ocean-glacier interactions, have implications for the rest of the world's tidewater glaciers, whose rapid retreat is contributing to sea-l

Global warming could halt ocean circulation, with harmful results
scientia Daily
Absent any climate policy, scientists have found a 70 percent chance of shutting down the thermohaline circulation in the North Atlantic Ocean over the next 200 years, with a 45 percent probability of this occurring in this century.

Currents keep the ocean moving. They start with spin of the Earth and the heat of the Sun. The salt in seawater makes the density, water's weight, change. Th...

Oceans warming faster than expected, set heat record in 2018, scientists say
CNBC
The oceans are warming faster than previously estimated, setting a new temperature record in 2018 in a trend that is damaging marine life, scientists said on Thursday.

Climate change will even change the color of the oceans, study says
CNN
The ocean will not look the same color in the future. It won't turn pink or anything radically different; the change will be detectable more through optic sensors than though the human eye, but it serves as an early warning signal, according to a new study.

High-impact marine heatwaves attributable to human-induced global warming
Scienc
Anthropogenic climate change is causing not only more episodes of historically high air temperatures but also more frequent spells of unusually increased ocean temperatures. Marine heatwaves, defined as periods of anomalously high regional surface ocean temperatures, have also become common in recent decades. Laufkötter et al. show that the frequency of these events has already increased more tha

Climate change responsible for record sea temperature levels, says study
Eurekalert
Global warming is driving an unprecedented rise in sea temperatures including in the Mediterranean, according to a major new report published by the peer-reviewed Journal of Operational Oceanography.
