The Sargasso Sea has become warmer and saltier, and the loss of oxygen and ocean acidification is accelerating
The subtropical oceans are getting warmer and saltier, losing oxygen, and gaining carbon dioxide, and in the recent decade, these changes have accelerated.
Read MorePlanktonic sea snails and slugs may be more adaptable to ocean acidification than expected
An evolutionary study finds that pteropods, or “wing-footed” sea snails and slugs, have faced acidified oceans in the past – and survived.

New research relates shell shapes and body geometries and sizes with swimming abilities and sinking behaviors, which impact vertical migration and distribution.
Read MoreUpper ocean water masses shrinking in changing climate: Less efficient CO2 sink
The oceans help buffer the Earth from climate change by absorbing carbon dioxide and heat at the surface and transporting it to the deep ocean. New research indicates the North Atlantic Subtropical Mode Water, an upper ocean water mass, is shrinking in a changing climate and becoming a less efficient sink for heat and carbon dioxide.
