New research suggests that the negative effects of the ozone hole on the carbon uptake of the Southern Ocean are reversible, but only if greenhouse gas emissions rapidly decrease. The study, led by ...

Imagine a scenario where the Southern Ocean surrounding Antarctica suddenly releases a massive amount of heat, triggering a dramatic rise in global temperatures. A recent study published in AGU ...

I’ve spent hundreds of days at sea. In the high winds and towering waves of the Southern Ocean around Antarctica, I have worked alongside fellow ocean scientists to understand the impacts of climate ...

SINGAPORE (Reuters) - The Southern Ocean has proved more resilient to global warming than previously thought and remains a major store of mankind's planet-warming carbon dioxide, a study has found.

The world’s oceans act as an important sink for carbon dioxide (CO₂). To date, they have absorbed around a quarter of human-induced CO₂ emissions from the atmosphere, thereby stabilising the global ...

The Southern Ocean around Antarctica is so loaded with carbon dioxide that it can barely absorb any more, so more of the gas will stay in the atmosphere to warm up the planet, scientists report. Human ...
