The Indian Ocean Geoid Low (IOGL), a significant gravitational anomaly, has puzzled scientists for decades. Research suggests ...

Sydney and the Australian National University (ANU), along with an international team, report that Antarctica is experiencing ...

The vast ice of Antarctica has long seemed impregnable. But sudden changes are arriving – from shrinking sea ice to melting ice sheets and slowing ocean currents.

New research has revealed that East Antarctica’s vast and icy interior is heating up faster than its coasts, fueled by warm air carried from the Southern Indian Ocean. Using 30 years of weather ...

A new study projects that the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC)—the system of currents that includes the ...

Oceans cover more than 70% of Earth's surface and hold enormous potential to generate clean electricity through ocean currents.

A groundbreaking study in the journal Science, has unveiled how deep ocean currents—known as global overturning circulation—play a pivotal role in shaping the diversity and function of microbial life ...

These currents, which range from several kilometers to 100 kilometers wide, have been the “missing pieces” of the ocean’s puzzle — until now.

The Earth's atmosphere and its oceans constantly affect one another; it's a feedback loop that influences wind and weather patterns, ocean currents, and more.

Most scientists think cold freshwater lakes poured into oceans as Earth's glaciers melted, and this weakened large-scale ocean currents that brought warm water northward from the tropics.

Scientists are far from knowing all of the complexities of Earth's ocean. With this comic, we explore some of what scientists do know, like its role as one of the world's largest carbon sinks and ...

Oceans around the globe have become darker over the last two decades, leaving researchers fearful for their marine inhabitants, according to a new study.
