Researchers have detected color changes in satellite photos of the Earth’s oceans that cannot be explained by normal year-to-year ecological variability alone. They say that these changes are likely a consequence of human-induced climate change.

Rivers are sources of life, and knowing how they are and their movement on other planets is now a massive study.

A NASA-supported study reveals a new technique to gauge the strength of ancient and active rivers beyond Earth using images of both Mars and Titan.

(CNN) — The color of the ocean has changed significantly over the last 20 years and human-caused climate change is likely responsible, according to a new study.

Over the past 20 years huge swathes of the worlds oceans have changed colour, displaying a subtle greening towards the tropics that researchers say points to the effect of climate change on life in the worlds seas. In the new research published on Wednesday, scientists said they had detected shifts in colours across more than half of the worlds oceans -- an expanse bigger than Earths total land area.

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