Scientists have unveiled a groundbreaking method (CSAC) to harmonize satellite ocean color data across various satellites, which paved the way for the generation of reliable, global-scale, long-term, ...

A new study analyzing 20 years of data has found that our oceans have changed color, indicating a significant shift in marine ecosystems that is likely due to human-caused climate change. For decades, ...

Ocean color measurements reveal a wealth of ecologically important characteristics including: chlorophyll concentration, the rate of phytoplankton photosynthesis, sediment transport, dispersion of ...

A green ocean is a productive ocean; the light from the sun helps the phytoplankton — tiny ocean plants — to be productive. This production in turn drives ocean food webs. New research, published in ...

Over half of the world's oceans have developed a green tinge in the past two decades years, a study shows. Measurements of ocean surface color taken via satellite over the past 20 years have uncovered ...

CAMBRIDGE, MA -- The ocean’s color has changed significantly over the last 20 years, and the global trend is likely a consequence of human-induced climate change, report scientists at MIT, the ...

The ocean is blue because water absorbs colors in the red part of the light spectrum. Like a filter, this leaves behind colors in the blue part of the light spectrum for us to see. When sunlight hits ...
