We just published the 2026 State of the Climate Report. Of 16 planetary vital signs spanning greenhouse gas concentrations, temperatures, the oceans, ice, energy balance, and wildfire, 7 (44%) are currently at record extremes. Read report here: doi.org/10.1093/biosci/biag1…

El Niño just arrived in June 2026, but one of its effects on ocean ecosystems is already visible: lower chlorophyll.
This green pigment is found in phytoplankton, which form the base of the marine food web.
ALT Map showing chlorophyll concentrations in the Pacific Ocean during an El Niño in June 2026. Green areas indicate more chlorophyll and blue areas indicate less. There is a band of green along the equator, except off the eastern coast of Australia. An arrow points to this area of low chlorophyll. Other than the equator and along coastlines, the ocean is mostly shown in blue.
Humans are slowly mapping the microbial genetic seascape of the upper ocean, allowing exploration of e.g. ocean as a single meta-organism, “ocean metabolism,” “conveyor-belt” dynamics, etc. Congrats to the authors and the ACE project team. 🌊🧬nature.com/articles/s41467-0…

True color from Nov-10th: it was still too early in spring for such bright waters (coccolithophores) to appear over the Patagonian shelf (SW South Atlantic). October already had shown the highest PIC on record for that month.

Great team of editors, and currently waiving publication costs.
