You've probably heard about the “super El Niño” that's impacting weather patterns around the world. But—real talk: how does unusually warm water in the Pacific impact us, thousands of miles away?

Rising ocean temperatures spell trouble for our ocean planet. Hear about impacts on fisheries and extreme weather from physical oceanographer Svenja Ryan⤵️
The average sea surface temperature just spent seven days at or above its previous record. That worries scientists for a few reasons.
The high reached 21.11 degrees Celcius, topping a record from March 2024. It’s also above the highest historical average temperature the European Union’s earth observation program has recorded since it began collecting data in 1979.
This is the fourth consecutive year that ocean temperatures have spent significant periods of time well above the historical average.
PBS News’ Tim McPhillips spoke to Svenja Ryan, an assistant scientist at the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institute, to explain why what might seem like a small increase matters, and how both the current El Niño and global warming are heating up our oceans.
Great to see our @UnivofGh colleagues on the cover of this important report! The Ghana-WHOI-URI Ocean Margins Initiative project funded by @schmidtsciences is a great example of collaborative, grassroots scientific capacity building, from the ocean up!
🔵Just released: The Ocean Decade Capacity Development Facility Strategic Plan 2026-2030 sets out the vision, objectives, and operational approach of the Decade's dedicated platform to advance capacity in ocean science.
