Loss of oxygen content also has significant impacts on marine microbes and animals. Since the 1960s, the oxygen level in the world's oceans has dropped by about 2 percent. While that may not sound ...

Today’s climate change pales in comparison with what happened as Earth gave birth to its oxygen-containing atmosphere billions of years ago. By analyzing clues contained in rocks, scientists at the ...

A recent report out of Oregon State University paints a picture of how ocean oxygen levels have decreased in the Pacific Northwest over the years. The report found near-bottom levels of dissolved ...

The amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere has continued to accelerate, increasing by a record amount last year. Trees, plants and tiny plankton in the ocean all convert CO2 into the oxygen we ...

Climate change has warmed waters off the coasts of Oregon, Washington and Northern California each summer, and reduced oxygen levels over a much larger area of the Pacific Ocean than was previously ...

Rivers are getting hotter and losing oxygen, with 70 percent of rivers becoming oxygen-deprived and more getting warmer. This process, due to the effects of climate change, is occurring in rivers much ...

Could the clock already be ticking on the habitable environment of planet Earth? New models of the Earth’s climate and the life cycles of stars place planet Earth far short of the maximum point of the ...
