A new study in the journal Nature says most sea level rise research may have underestimated coastal water heights by an average of 1 foot or about 30 centimeters.

Scientists are using studies and computer models to draw connections between recent extreme weather and climate change. The ...

A major new study shows long-term ocean warming is steadily reducing fish populations, putting global food security at risk.

Greenland’s fishermen are struggling as warming weather from climate change makes the sea ice unreliable and the fish harder to predict.

Sea levels across the world are already “much higher” than most scientific assessments have assumed, according to new research, making coasts even more vulnerable to rising oceans as a result of ...

It’s not easy to find silver linings amid the rapid, human-driven destabilization of Earth’s climate—though that hasn’t ...

Humans are a coastal species. More than one in ten people in the world live within three miles of the shore, and about 40 ...

New geological data indicate that marine life is somewhat resilient to warming in the tropics. Chris Fokkema, Earth scientist at Utrecht University, discovered that tropical algae were largely ...

Go behind the scenes with reporter Kiley Bense and oceans correspondent Teresa Tomassoni as they discuss how climate change is transforming the oceans for whale populations.

The author says warming waters are changing local fishing, bringing new species but threatening others. The EPA's ...

Researchers found that a majority of studies on coastal sea levels underestimated how high water levels are, and hundreds of millions of people are closer to peril than previously thought.

A widely used method to calculate sea level rise may have missed up to a century of change, so the risks could hit home for millions sooner than thought.
