Feathers from three penguin species – Adelie, gentoo and chinstrap – were collected during the 2010-11 breeding season by ...

As the Southern Ocean slowly releases heat it has absorbed from a warming atmosphere, regions as far away as East Asia and ...

Researchers found increased meltwater and rain explain 60% of a decades-long mismatch between predicted and observed temperatures in the ocean around Antarctica.

Climate models predict that as the planet warms, so will the Southern Ocean. But for decades, the waters around Antarctica have grown mysteriously cooler. A new study shows why.

An international team of researchers has now shown why this is the case and how the distant Southern Ocean determines precipitation on the Pacific coasts. The study was designed by Hanjun Kim from ...

Protecting remaining strongholds and minimising human impacts on food sources will be crucial to avoiding further population ...

Algae with domoic acid is sometimes called red tide, and biologists think runoff from the wildfires and ocean sediment ...

As global temperatures warm, the Southern Ocean -- between Antarctica and other continents -- will eventually release heat absorbed from the atmosphere, leading to projected long-term increases in ...
