A new University of Miami study looked at forty years worth of data from across the Atlantic and found cooler waters in deep currents off the U.S. coast could be warming. The current, known as the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation, has drawn increasing scrutiny as climate change warms the planet because it plays such a sweeping role.

Several stations used by boaters, divers, researchers and meteorologists as a critical tool to understand sea surface conditions are becoming derelict and decommissioned, leaving those who rely on them, in the dark.

Scientists knew that climate change would cause the oceans to heat up a lot. But current ocean temperatures are even higher than expected.

Scientists investigating the sudden widespread die-off of the critical species across the Caribbean and Florida identified the parasite with remarkable speed, thanks to social media, avid divers and advances in DNA.

Rents are climbing, making life in South Florida a lot harder to enjoy. Plus, Seashells are beautiful and an important part of our environment, but did you know they end up in our toothpaste and our Tums?

Climate change is hitting the oceans hard, both warming and acidifying the water. Ocean scientists are hoping the Biden Administration dives in quickly to address it.

The U.N. Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change has released its latest report on the oceans, and it's not good. The report also notes a relatively new phenomenon in the oceans: marine heat waves.

Scientists need to track the history of sea temperatures precisely to model climate change. A newly discovered clue in measurements taken by sailors in the 1930s could have far-reaching implications.

Thanks to research done at the University of Miami, we know the epic dust clouds that drift out of North Africa may sometimes prevent hurricanes. (They…

Every summer, fish and other marine life are forced out of their habitats in the Gulf of Mexico due to an insidious “dead zone.” The area, also known as...
