The oceans have relieved the atmosphere from ¼ of anthropogenic CO2 emissions. In the Arctic, thawing permafrost may weaken this mechanism, new research indicates.

The Gulf Stream is depicted in one of two new stamps issued for Norwegian mail, in a series highlighting discoveries and inventions.

Young ice breaks apart easier than old ice, and breakup of large areas of sea ice has become increasingly more common.

To know whether emission treaties are complied with, all CO2 must be traceable. Incomplete bookkeeping sent scientists on a search in the Greenland Sea.

What drives the Gulf Stream? To explore the most complicated questions, oceanographers pick up their lightest tools.

The Arctic region heats up more than the rest of the globe. Research suggests ice loss influences winters on the southern continents, though the effect is often overshadowed.

More than a hundred climate researchers meet to discuss research from a Norwegian-Chinese collaboration on climate research.

Yes. But variations off the coast of Florida do not necessarily reach Norway, often attributing its warm climate to the Gulf Stream. A new study questions the coherence of the circulation in the North Atlantic Ocean.

A pronounced fall in Caribbean sea levels twenty years ago made researchers wonder about the causes of rising seas.

While the Arctic tundra loses color as the permafrost thaws, cities are greening.
