Measurements analyzed by an international research team led by ETH Zurich show that the global ocean absorbed significantly ...

The ocean is a vital part of our planet's climate system. Through its global circulation patterns, the ocean draws vast quantities of our planet's heat and carbon dioxide out of the atmosphere.

Beneath Antarctica's vast expanse of ice sit hundreds of canyons, some up to tens of thousands of feet deep. These complex ...

The Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC) is an enormous loop of ocean current in the Atlantic Ocean that ...

Study reveals crucial role of mixing Atlantic and Arctic waters in global ocean circulation Date: August 29, 2024 Source: University of Southampton Summary: A new study sheds light on the vital ...

Scientists use deep ocean historical records to find an abrupt ocean circulation reversal caused by greenhouse gas warming New research produced by scientists at Scripps Institution of Oceanography… ...

Abrupt and potentially irreversible changes in Antarctica driven by climate change could lift global oceans by metres and lead to "catastrophic consequences for generations", scientists warned ...

Glaciers holding massive amounts of water are melting at unprecedented rates, reshaping ocean systems and influencing conditions in the Pacific Northwest and beyond.

Marine cloud brightening in the North Pacific induces a strong local cooling that accelerates the global ocean circulation, leading to a large-scale atmospheric response that ultimately increases heat ...

Last year, an international study revealed that the Antarctic Circumpolar Current – the main driver of global ocean circulation – intensified around 12 million years ago, influencing Antarctic ocean ...
