Ocean | NASA Earthdata The ocean covers more than 70% of Earth’s surface and contains 97% of the planet’s water This vast, critical reservoir supports a abundance of life and helps regulate Earth’s climate
Ocean Topics - Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution The ocean plays a central role in global climate and regional weather patterns Explore how the ocean regulates climate by absorbing carbon, the ways a warming ocean impacts the intensity of storms and the height of the sea, and how scientists study the ocean's climate history
Ocean Circulation - Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution Ocean circulation refers to the flow of water throughout the world's oceans, which acts as a fundamental driver of Earth's climate This continuous movement redistributes heat, cycles essential nutrients for marine life, and affects the structure and health of ocean ecosystems
Oceans | Science News Oceans Deep-sea mining could start soon — before we understand its risks The U S push to mine international waters for metals defies global efforts to control and protect these fragile ecosystems
How the Ocean Works - Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution Understanding how the ocean works is foundational to understanding life on this planet and to the discipline of oceanography Get to know the big systems of the ocean: its cycles, circulation, zones, and connection to the atmosphere Learn about ocean chemistry, life and landscapes on the seafloor, plate movements, shorelines, and icy regions
Ocean Plants - Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution Ocean plants are critical to marine life—they are an important food source, they provide oxygen to surrounding marine life, and they supply refuge and nursery grounds
Ocean Color - NASA Earthdata Ocean color is a measure of sunlight that is reflected by the water and its components, such as phytoplankton, sediments, and colored dissolved organic matter (CDOM) Remotely collected ocean color data can be used as a substitute for directly sampling and examining water quality in any body of water
Ocean Trenches - Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution Ocean trenches are steep depressions exceeding 6,000 meters in depth, where old ocean crust from one tectonic plate is pushed beneath another plate Trenches make up the world's hadal zone
