Climate scientists are increasingly studying the possibility of an Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC) ...

One of the world’s most important ocean currents is dangerously weakening but new research suggests it is unlikely to stop ...

A developing El Niño is already altering Pacific winds and ocean heat, setting up possible shifts in U.S. weather and ...

Scientists found evidence that a profound change in the Antarctic Ocean followed the weakening of the Atlantic.

Using geochemical analyses of marine sediments, researchers have been able to quantitatively reconstruct the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation over the past 12,000 years. An international ...

Scientists have developed a new method to measure ocean surface currents over large areas in greater detail than ever before. Called GOFLOW (Geostationary Ocean Flow), the approach applies deep ...

Semi-enclosed seas, bounded by land and connected to the open ocean through narrow straits or sills, exhibit circulation patterns that are distinct from those of open basins. Their dynamics are ...

New research from an international group looking at ancient sediment cores in the North Atlantic has for the first time shown a strong correlation between sediment changes and a marked period of ...

The paper found that the water in the Southern Ocean has unexpectedly been getting saltier over the last 10 years, a reversal of a trend measured since roughly the 1970s. Its main author told Snopes ...
