The melting of ice is actually slowing down the deep ocean circulation around Antarctica. This system of deep currents, known ...

New modelling and observations suggest a non-trivial risk that the Atlantic 'Gulf Stream' circulation (AMOC) could tip within ...

Climate change is making ocean water more acidic. A new study suggests that a drop in pH could erode sharks’ teeth.

Ocean currents driven by wind, water density, tides, ocean floor features, or the Coriolis effect, have an important role on climate regulation and marine ecology. In turn, increasing water ...

A new study warns that irreversible changes happening in Antarctica, which are caused by climate change, could cause global ...

AMOC is part of a system of currents which move heat around the oceans of the world. It delivers a stupendous flow of that ...

You might think only massive ocean currents like the Gulf Stream affect global weather. But swirling mini-currents, known as submesoscale eddies, play a crucial hidden role.

Soaring carbon emissions, an unexpected new source of global warming, and collapsing ocean currents shocked scientists in 2024. Here are our picks for this year's top climate change stories.

Ocean currents driven by wind, water density, tides, ocean floor features, or the Coriolis effect, have an important role on climate regulation and marine ecology. In turn, increasing water ...

A warming climate doesn't just affect dry land — it affects the ocean, too. For years, Earth's ocean has acted as a heat sink for climate change: A large part of the heat generated by human use ...

Some of the fastest ocean currents in the world have been discovered off South Africa, Somalia, Kenya, Tanzania and Madagascar. These can be used to generate energy.
