Isotope evidence from fossil otoliths shows Caribbean reef food chains have shrunk by up to 70%, signaling a major loss of ...

Imagine being able to measure the extent of sea-level change over the past half million years, or find out why our climate changes through time. Clues to those mysteries and others may be sunk deep in ...

Deep-sea coral fossils used by researchers to study carbon sequestration in the Southern Ocean 20,000 to 10,000 years ago. The Southern Ocean played a critical role in the rapid atmospheric carbon ...

Lead author Carra Williams, a PhD student in geosciences at the University of Sydney, here holds a fossilised coral core that has undergone neutron scanning. A University of Sydney student has ...

This is a fossilized coral — one of dozens scattered across the Indian Ocean archipelago of the Seychelles. It is a piece of history, hidden in plain sight. It tells of a time 125,000 years ago, when ...

Add Yahoo as a preferred source to see more of our stories on Google. During fieldwork in July 2020, a living microatoll (foreground) near Siloso Point, Sentosa, was found to be partially dead from ...

Heat waves, droughts and mass extinctions are all potential threats from climate change. But the scariest risk has always been that of rapid sea-level rise caused by the collapse of the massive ice ...

Fossil fish ear stones reveal that today’s coral reefs have shorter food chains and less diversity than ancient reefs before human impact.

After getting some great feedback from last week’s column on Ohio’s Earth Science Week and its discussion of rocks and minerals, I thought a good follow-up this week would be to highlight some of the ...

Ocean temperatures have been extremely hot this summer, wreaking havoc on some of the world's highly vulnerable coral reefs. With marine heat waves only expected to get worse as the climate changes, ...
