Scientists have developed a new method to measure ocean surface currents over large areas in greater detail than ever before.
Rising sea levels threaten coastal communities with increased flooding and erosion. This article examines the impacts and solutions to protect vulnerable areas.
If the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation shut down, the knock-on effects could release hundreds of billions of ...
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.
Early forecasts suggest this year may see the strongest El Niño in a decade—bringing with it more extreme weather.
New simulations reveal the ocean current didn’t start as expected, with a missing factor delaying its full power.
Thirty-four million years ago, Antarctica was not yet the frozen continent we know. Forests still clung to its margins, and ...
The deep, blue sea is becoming deeper — in color, that is. Climate change, along with human development, has reduced how much ...
By the Early Oligocene Glacial Maximum, atmospheric CO2 was around 600 parts per million (ppm), after falling from roughly ...
New simulations show that the world's strongest ocean current didn't start flowing overnight – several major factors needed ...
A shutdown of the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC) could trigger a substantial release of stored ocean ...
Measurements by buoys at four latitudes in the western Atlantic provide the strongest evidence yet that the Atlantic ...
