A new study is predicting estuaries along the East Coast of the U.S. will experience marine heat wave conditions up to a third of the year by the end of the century.

Projections warn that "much of the open ocean could reach a near-permanent" marine heat wave state by the end of this century.

A first-of-its-kind study led by William & Mary's Batten School & VIMS is predicting estuaries along the East Coast of the U.S. will experience marine heat wave conditions for up to a third of the ...

As global temperatures continue to rise, similar extreme heat waves in February could occur once every 10 years, according to the study. And if warming doubles by the end of the century, similar heat ...

While public perception often considers heat waves more deadly statistics reveal that cold weather might be more lethal in many regions. According to research winter temperatures can result in ...

The study estimates the Chesapeake Bay area could have marine heat wave conditions for about a third of the year by the end of the century. That’s an increase from the 22 days a year the bay now ...

The east coast of the United States could face dangerous marine heat waves—prolonged periods of unusually warm seawater temperatures—for more than 100 days a year by 2100, new research has shown.

The results showed rising frequencies of marine heat waves in East Coast estuaries that, if continued as modeled, could have disastrous ecosystem consequences. “The Chesapeake Bay, for example ...
