Tropical herbivorous fish are expanding their range into temperate waters and a new international study documents the dramatic impact of the intrusion in the Mediterranean Sea.

A new study of Pacific oyster and Mediterranean mussel larvae found that the earliest larval stages are directly sensitive to saturation state, not carbon dioxide (CO₂) or pH.

A big data competition with prizes totalling $175,000 has been launched to solve a scientific challenge.

A new study confirms that atmospheric levels of nitrous oxide rose significantly as the Earth came out of the last ice age.

Tsunami debris is still arriving from Japan, nearly four years after the big earthquake, and each arriving item carries the risk of introducing non-native species to the Northwest.

Building on a new commitment to improved marine protection and management, the U.S. Department of State has chosen Jane Lubchenco as the first Science Envoy for the Oceans.

A new study published this week in Science links increases in greenhouse gases during a warming climate after the last ice age to increases in African rainfall.

A new study suggests that the ocean may absorb carbon dioxide more efficiently than previously thought, but it may come at a cost - decreased oxygen in ocean environments.

A new study suggesting that the contribution of the Antarctic ice sheets to sea level rise is less than once thought has significant implications for future sea level change, according to a commentary by OSU's Peter Clark.

A new study shows that the rise of atmospheric carbon dioxide that contributed to the end of the last ice age was characterized by three “pulses” of rapid C0₂ increase.
