The Indian Ocean sea level rose twice as fast as the global average since 2003

Science Blog: A new paper in the Journal of Geophysical Research shows that sea level rise in the northern Indian Ocean rose twice as fast as the global average since 2003. This represents a stark contrast to the previous decade, when the region experienced very little sea level rise at all. The science team led by Philip Thompson, associate director of the University of Hawaii Sea Level Center in the School of Ocean and Earth Science and Technology (SOEST), analyzed two and a half decades of ocean surface...

Heatwaves in the ocean: Risk to ecosystems?
2016-09-20 13:03:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
ScienceDaily: Did you know that heatwaves not only occur on land, but also in the sea? We all remember the record-breaking European heatwave in summer of 2003: forests burned, rivers dried up and more than ten thousand people in Europe died as a result of the extremely high temperatures. The marine environment -- and in particular the organisms -- also suffer from heat stress. Two exceptional heatwaves in the ocean during the past few years have alarmed us scientists. Humans will also feel their consequences in...

Soaring Ocean Temperature Greatest Hidden Challenge
2016-09-10 14:33:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Guardian: The soaring temperature of the oceans is the greatest hidden challenge of our generation that is altering the make-up of marine species, shrinking fishing areas and starting to spread disease to humans, according to the most comprehensive analysis yet of ocean warming. The oceans have already sucked up an enormous amount of heat due to escalating greenhouse gas emissions, affecting marine species from microbes to whales, according to an International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) report...

Scientists Report in on Ocean Warming
2016-09-07 23:52:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Maritime Executive: A new International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) report, entitled Explaining ocean warming: causes, scale, effects and consequences, sets out the most recent and comprehensive review to date on this topic and shows a complex story of change in the ocean. This change is underway, often already locked in for many decades to come, and has already begun to impact people's lives, says IUCN. It is no longer a single story of ocean warming challenges to coral reefs, but a rapidly growing list...
