The Greenland shark – the world's longest-living vertebrate – is most often associated with cold Arctic waters. 

The earthquake that rocked Alaska for close to five minutes on March 27, 1964, remains the most powerful earthquake recorded in U.S. history. It registered a magnitude of 9.2 on the Richter scale and generated a tsunami that killed people as far south as California. The earthquake also changed the nature of the land surrounding its epicenter near Prince William Sound.

A combination of sewage overflows and coastal winds could be sending billions of airborne microplastic particles into the world’s coastal towns and cities, a new study suggests.

How is ventilation at various depth layers of the Atlantic connected and what role do changes in ocean circulation play? 

The Dead Sea is a confluence of extraordinary conditions: the lowest point on the earth’s surface, with one of the world’s highest salinities. 

New research from the University of Victoria (UVic) highlights how marine heatwaves can dramatically impact marine ecosystems and offers a stark preview of how future ocean warming will reshape ocean life.

The underwater kelp forests that line Canada’s coastlines may offer an untapped option for natural climate solutions, a new study led by University of Victoria shows, in the first national assessment of the country’s kelp ecosystems.

Plunge into the shallows off the Florida Keys, Hawaiʻi or the Great Barrier Reef in Australia and you are likely to meet a startling sight.

Reviving floodplain wetlands slashes carbon emissions by 39% and restores critical ecosystem functions in one year – without the methane spike typically seen in restored peatlands, a new study has found.

An alga that threatens freshwater ecosystems and is toxic to vertebrates has a sneaky way of ensuring its success: It suppresses the growth of algal competitors by releasing chemicals that deprive them of a vital vitamin.
