Marine species at risk unless drastic protection policies put in place
EurekAlert | 22 Aug 2012
Many marine species will be harmed or won't survive if the levels of carbon dioxide continue to increase. Current protection policies and management practices are unlikely to be enough to save them. Unconventional, non-passive methods to conserve marine ecosystems need to be considered if various marine species are to survive.

Increasing levels of carbon dioxide in Arctic coastal seas
ScienceDaily.com | 26 Jun 2012
The Arctic coastal seas absorb the greenhouse gas carbon dioxide to an ever-decreasing extent. This leads to an increase in the level in the atmosphere and an increase in the rate of warming in the Arctic.

Study: Seeping Arctic methane has serious implications for Florida coastline
EurekAlert | 20 Jun 2012
(Florida State University) All of the methane escaping into the atmosphere causes more melting ice, oceanographer Jeff Chanton says, which causes sea levels to rise and could affect coastal real estate values -- sooner rather than later.

Research shows humans are primary cause of global ocean warming over past 50 years
EurekAlert | 12 Jun 2012
New research by a team of Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory scientists and international collaborators shows that the observed ocean warming over the last 50 years is consistent with climate models only if the models include the impacts of observed increases in greenhouse gas during the 20th century.

Arctic seabirds adapt to climate change
ScienceDaily.com | 16 May 2012
The planet is warming up, especially at the poles. How do organisms react to this rise in temperatures? Biologists have now shown that little auks, the most common seabirds in the Arctic, are adapting their fishing behavior to warming surface waters in the Greenland Sea. So far, their reproductive and survival rates have not been affected. However, further warming could threaten the species.

Study finds surprising Arctic methane emission source
ScienceDaily.com | 26 Apr 2012
The fragile and rapidly changing Arctic region is home to large reservoirs of methane, a potent greenhouse gas. As Earth's climate warms, the methane, frozen in reservoirs stored in Arctic tundra soils or marine sediments, is vulnerable to being released into the atmosphere, where it can add to global warming. Now a multi-institutional study has uncovered a surprising and potentially important new source of Arctic methane: the ocean itself.

Study Hints at Greater Threat of Extreme Weather
New York Times | 26 Apr 2012
New research suggests a faster water cycle over the oceans than previously believed, raising the possibility of more droughts and floods.
