According to a new study, the oceans have absorbed more heat from climate change than previously thought. This could mean the Earth will warm even faster in the future than scientists have predicted.

New research shows shallow, near-land seas similar to Bass Strait were critical in the early days of fish evolution. These are the waters we need to protect now to ensure ongoing biodiversity.
An effort to increase such areas can pose a particular threat to island overseas territories.
Coral reefs are in crisis around the world, and may disappear entirely. 3D printing is a new idea to help them – but it won’t be a cure all.
Our children all know the little clownfish Nemo, star of the Pixar film. But why does he have three stripes, rather than one or two? Developmental and evolutionary biology are revealing the answer.
A new tool called EcoCast helps fishermen in the West Coast figure out where it’s best to fish that day.
The ocean floor holds unique information about Earth’s history. Scientific ocean drilling, which started 50 years ago, has yielded insights into climate change, geohazards and the key conditions for life.
The warming of the oceans means that the plants and organisms used as warning systems for pollution are being rendered ineffective.
Pumping very salty water into the ocean has surprisingly little impact on marine life.
It’s quite hard to tell when a sea creature is extinct – there’s always hope it will turn up somewhere.
We take salt water for granted, and often overlook how important it is for our own lives and in sustaining a healthy planet.
A new project takes a different look at the role of oceans.
Forget the scare stories, sharks are good for our oceans.
Waves lap against the shore on the south coast of England and the North coast of France – but the answer to this puzzle is in the wind and the land, not the waves themselves.
Megalodons are the latest Hollywood monster to leap out of the fossil record, but what else is lurking in prehistoric seas?
Strange frond-like sea creatures are among the planet’s earliest animals, but new research dates them and the entire animal kingdom to much earlier than first thought.
Plastic bags are commonly mistaken for food by sea animals. They require a lot of energy and resources to be made, and have caused floods in some countries.
The world has some 500 million square kilometres of ocean. But just 55 million square kilometres remain untouched by intensive human activities such as fishing.
Elusive and mysterious by nature, ordinary people are revealing the secrets of the UK’s octopuses.
Tech fixes to environmental problems are guaranteed to grab attention, but real change for the planet requires community organising.
