Bermuda’s hurricanes are twice as strong as they were six decades ago

Ocean warming is fueling stronger hurricanes.

Increasing hurricane intensity around Bermuda linked to rising ocean temperatures

New research shows that hurricane maximum wind speeds in the subtropical Atlantic around Bermuda have more than doubled on average over the last 60 years due to rising ocean temperatures in the region.

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.

Long-term data show a recent acceleration in chemical and physical changes in the ocean

Two open-ocean hydrographic stations record 40 years of change in the subtropical North Atlantic Ocean

Planktonic 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.

Pumping Up Cold Water From Deep Within the Ocean to Halt Coral Bleaching

New research shows that pulses of cooler deep water reduced heat stress responses in corals.

Understanding the Movement Patterns of Free-swimming Marine Snails

New research relates shell shapes and body geometries and sizes with swimming abilities and sinking behaviors, which impact vertical migration and distribution.
