Oceans warming too fast for Great Barrier Reef
2016-04-14 20:01:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Climate Home: Climate change risks disabling the protective mechanism of the world`s largest coral reef against spurts in sea temperature, according to a study. Bouts of gradual warming have spurred parts of the Great Barrier Reef to build heat tolerance, limiting the severity of bleaching and preventing die-offs. But more sudden increases in temperature seen by future scenarios were likely to skip this practice run, the study published in journal Science on Thursday said. Heat-stress causes coral to...

Yale Environment 360: An illustration of ship traffic in 2015. View gallery. Photo: Global Fishing Watch Over the past century, rampant overfishing, severe pollution, and runaway coastal development have taken a huge toll on the worlds oceans. Now, however, two major advances in global ocean governance are quietly unfolding, offering hope that the early decades of the 21st century will mark a turning point in which humanity can begin to repair the global seas. Yet a key question remains: Will the new availability...
NASA examines El Nino's impact on ocean's food source
2016-04-09 17:02:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Environmental News Network: El Nio years can have a big impact on the littlest plants in the ocean, and NASA scientists are studying the relationship between the two. In El Nio years, huge masses of warm water equivalent to about half of the volume of the Mediterranean Sea slosh east across the Pacific Ocean towards South America. While this warm water changes storm systems in the atmosphere, it also has an impact below the oceans surface. These impacts, which researchers can visualize with satellite data, can ripple...
