The ocean takes up more than three times as much CO₂ from the atmosphere as in 1860. The main culprit is the higher concentration of CO₂ in the atmosphere. Emissions have not stopped rising, new report states.

Withered algae sink through the water, covering the sea floor under a layer of decay. It is fall in the ocean, and some fish swim south. 

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.
