A shutdown of the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC) could trigger a substantial release of stored ocean ...
Scientists reveal that Antarctica’s ocean current formed slowly and needed winds, ice, and shifting continents to shape Earth’s climate.
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 ...
Learn how the Antarctic Circumpolar Current formed during the Oligocene, as winds, shifting continents, and ocean gateways ...
It transports far more than 100 times as much water as all of the Earth's rivers combined: The Antarctic Circumpolar Current ...
One of the ocean currents in the Arctic Ocean is at risk of disappearing this century because of climate change, according to a new joint study from the University of Gothenburg and the German Alfred ...
A new study shows that during the last two deglaciations, i.e., the transition from an ice age to the warm interglacial periods, meltwater from the Antarctic ice sheet intensified stratification in ...
BOISE, Idaho — Scientists across the Pacific Northwest are wrapping up summer research on the status of local glaciers – some of which are melting at record speed and impacting the region. Melting ...
The global ocean “conveyor belt” circulation, shown in part here as red and blue lines, circulates cooler seawater below the surface and warmer seawater at the surface throughout the world’s oceans.
