An abrupt shutdown of Atlantic Ocean currents that could put large parts of Europe in a deep freeze is looking a bit more likely and closer than before as a new complex computer simulation finds a ...

The ocean currents in the Atlantic are headed toward a total shut down, a new study shows. If that happens, less heat is exchanged across the globe and Europe could go into a deep freeze. Northwestern ...

Fractures in an Antarctic iceberg were likely caused by rapid changes in the currents that flow through the Southern Ocean. When you purchase through links on our site, we may earn an affiliate ...

The ocean is essentially our planet's climate control system, a massive engine that never stops working. For thousands of years, this intricate network of currents has maintained Earth's weather ...

While scientists have long studied currents of large eddies, the smaller ones -- called submesoscale eddies -- are notoriously difficult to detect. These currents, which range from several kilometers ...

In this first glimpse of the "Sea Camp" series from NPR's Short Wave podcast, hear how climate change will significantly shift three-quarters of the ocean's surface currents by the end of the century.

These deep ocean tides supply almost half of the world's oceans with vital nutrients and oxygen, but melting ice shelves are slowing them down. When you purchase through links on our site, we may earn ...
