These changes are having multiple effects on marine species...
Climate change is affecting the oceans, too. Ocean water absorbs CO2from the atmosphere, which creates a chemical reaction that causesocean acidification. Ocean surface waters have become30% more acidicsince the beginning of the industrial revolution. When water is too acidic, corals can't build t...

The latest report from the IPCC highlights the dramatic toll warming has taken on the world's water.
With the ongoing climate change that has been affecting oceans, it is necessary to strengthen our understanding of how fish distribution will change in Chinese waters in order to promote adaptive conservation and management strategies (Zhang et al., 2020b, Kang et al., 2021). In recent years,...
NASA chief Kate Calvin discusses how climate change is affecting everyday life06:10 The oceans of today look different from the oceans of 20 years ago, researchers found in a new study. Around 56% of the world's oceans have changed color, with the blue waters becoming greener over time, ...
Despite this, the opposite response of OHT and AHT to global warming appears robust in climate change projections10, consistent with the finding that changes in the sum of OHT and AHT are (much) smaller than in OHT and AHT separately8. The question then arises as to how a decrease in ...
Climate change is a phenomenon that has been affecting various aspects of our planet, including ocean ecosystems. The continuous increase in greenhouse gas emissions has led to rising sea levels, warming oceans, and ocean acidification, which have all had significant impacts on marine life. In this...
A16 Climate experts are here to set the record straight.What is climate change?Climate change covers a broad range of environmental and human-caused factors that are affecting the planet.Although climate change has occurred naturally for centuries, now the climate is being altered by human activity...
currents transmit huge amounts of heat throughout the planet – the atmosphere in almost equal amounts. But the oceans are surrounded by dirt plates; hence heat is transmitted through channels through the water. Therefore, these ocean currents become responsible and contributes toclimate change ...
