Researchers have consistently tracked a recurring bloom near Antarctica that reliably appears each summer, yet varies ...
Intense storms that sweep over the Southern Ocean enable the ocean to absorb more heat from the atmosphere. New research from the University of Gothenburg shows that today’s climate models ...
If you ever find yourself on Macquarie Island—a narrow, wind-lashed ridge halfway between Tasmania and Antarctica—the first thing you'll notice is the wildlife. Elephant seals sprawl across dark ...
Climate models suggest that climate change could reduce the Southern Ocean’s ability to absorb carbon dioxide (CO 2). However, observational data actually shows that this ability has seen no ...
A breakthrough study has uncovered that the Southern Ocean's power to pull carbon dioxide from the atmosphere fluctuates dramatically depending on winter sea ice. When sea ice lingers longer into ...
