For the first time, we used a computer model of ocean currents to show that krill waste products don’t need to reach great depths to achieve carbon storage for at least 100 years.

The Southern Ocean surrounding Antarctica is regarded by scientists as a large and crucial absorber of carbon dioxide from the atmosphere. New findings from autonomous floats deployed in the Southern ...

Most of this human-made carbon in the Southern Ocean is tucked away in the uppermost 500 meters. A second set of currents brings water from down deeper up toward the surface.

The Antarctic Ocean is one of the most important ocean ecosystems, according to Nissen This icy ocean is more than just a home to penguins and whales. It plays a critical role in regulating the ...

Satellite imagery has revealed a yet-to-be-explained rise in the Southern Ocean's salinity. It could be a key factor in the decline of the region's sea ice.

Antarctic icebergs help ocean take up carbon dioxide. ScienceDaily. Retrieved May 27, 2025 from www.sciencedaily.com / releases / 2011 / 05 / 110511131140.htm.

The Evolving Paleobathymetry of the Circum‐Antarctic Southern Ocean Since 34 Ma: A Key to Understanding Past Cryosphere‐Ocean Developments. Geochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems , 2020; 21 (8 ...

The troubling shift could slow ocean currents by 40 percent, with devastating effect on climate change, ecosystems, and the stability of Antarctic ice.

That is especially the case in Antarctica, where ice-sheet retreat will result in the expansion of “blue carbon” sites, expected to store up to 160 million metric tons of carbon annually on ...

New research led by the University of East Anglia (UEA) and Plymouth Marine Laboratory (PML) has found that the Southern Ocean absorbs more carbon dioxide (CO2) than previously thought. Using direct ...

During a six-week period spent in the Antarctic coastal seas, the researchers will run a series of transects to collect samples and map the distribution of different elements in the water column to ...

Capital Weather Gang Southern Ocean waters are warming faster than thought, threatening Antarctic ice. A layer of warming water is rising from the subsurface, threatening to speed up Antarctic ice ...
