Climate Modeling May Have Missed Something: Aquatic Creatures Mix Ocean Water by Swimming
November 23, 2009 — Understanding mixing in the ocean is of fundamental importance to modeling climate change or predicting the effects of an El Niño on our weather. Modern ocean models primarily incorporate the ... > full story -
Sea Stars Bulk Up to Beat the Heat
November 23, 2009 — A new study finds that a species of sea star stays cool using a strategy never before seen in the animal kingdom. The sea stars soak up cold sea water into their bodies during high tide as buffer ... > full story -
Mysteriously Warm Times in Antarctica
November 22, 2009 — A new study of Antarctica's past climate reveals that temperatures during the warm periods between ice ages (interglacials) may have been higher than previously thought. The latest analysis of ice ... > full story -
Optical Properties of the Antarctic System and New Radiation Information
November 20, 2009 — In a new study, measurements were made during three Austral summers to study the optical properties of the Antarctic system and to produce radiation information for additional modeling studies. The ... > full story -
Paleontologists Find Extinction Rates Higher in Open-Ocean Settings During Mass Extinctions
November 20, 2009 — Researchers have uncovered a strikingly pattern for ancient mass extinctions: extinctions rates during mass extinctions were significantly higher in open-ocean-facing settings than in epicontinental ... > full story -
Oceans' Uptake of Human-Made Carbon May Be Slowing
November 19, 2009 — The oceans play a key role in regulating climate, absorbing more than a quarter of the carbon dioxide that humans put into the air. Now, the first year-by-year accounting of this mechanism during the ... > full story -
