New research reveals a powerful yet overlooked driver of climate change: intensifying ocean eddies. These swirling ...

Understanding ocean currents is important for work such as weather forecasting, climate research, search-and-rescue ...

Scientists have developed a new method to measure ocean surface currents over large areas in greater detail than ever before.

Research shows that intensifying ocean eddies are reshaping coastal climates by warming surface waters while cooling the deep ...

A colossal ocean current encircling Antarctica—stronger than all the world’s rivers combined—played a far more complex role in shaping Earth’s climate than scientists once thought. New research shows ...

A vast ocean current encircling Antarctica—more powerful than all the world’s rivers combined—played a surprisingly complex role in shaping Earth’s climate.

Some of the rainiest places on Earth could see their annual precipitation nearly halved if climate change continues to alter the way ocean water moves around the globe. In a new CU Boulder-led study ...

Narrow bands of ocean covering just over one-third of the world's seas are responsible for absorbing nearly three-quarters of the carbon dioxide that oceans pull from the atmosphere, new research ...
