Tiny sugars from marine microbes help clouds freeze over the Southern Ocean, offering new insight into cloud brightness and climate models.

The locations of humpback whale catches in the early 20th century indicate that most climate models overestimate the historic ...

A sudden salinity spike in the Southern Ocean is accelerating Antarctic ice loss and triggering a dangerous climate feedback loop.

New research reveals the importance of winter sea ice in the year-to-year variability of the amount of atmospheric CO2 absorbed by a region of the Southern Ocean.

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 ...

Past climate change ‘shifts ocean currents and winds in Southern Ocean’ Analysis of global climate patterns from past 1.5 million years reveal links between ocean circulation and climate changes.

Additionally, compared to mid-latitude regions, Southern Ocean eddies are observed to be smaller and deeper (Frenger et al., 2015). To obtain more accurate three-dimensional characteristics of eddies, ...

A team of scientists led by CU Boulder has identified 30 new areas critical for conserving biodiversity in the Southern Ocean surrounding Antarctica. In a study published Aug. 15 in the journal ...

New research has found that the Southern Ocean absorbs more carbon dioxide (CO2) than previously thought. Using direct measurements of CO2 exchange, or fluxes, between the air and sea, the ...

Hospital officials broke ground Thursday on a $31.4 million surgical expansion at Hackensack Meridian Southern Ocean Medical Center in Stafford Township.
