How to talk to people about climate change
New research may offer some insight, examining biases towards climate information and offering tools to overcome these and communicate climate change more effectively.
Changes in ocean chemistry show how sea level affects global carbon cycle
A new analysis of strontium isotopes in marine sediments has enabled scientists to reconstruct fluctuations in ocean chemistry related to changing climate conditions over...
Weed invaders are getting faster
Biologists are studying weeds to better understand (among other things) how they might respond to climate change. Research shows that most invasive plants are...
Sea level rise up to four times global average for coastal communities

Some open ocean waters teeming with an abundance of life
Since Charles Darwin's day, the abundance of life on coral reefs has been puzzling, given that most oceanic surface waters in the tropics are...
Sea ice kept oxygen from reaching deep ocean during last ice age
Extensive sea ice covered the world's oceans during the last ice age, which prevented oxygen from penetrating into the deep ocean waters, complicating the...
