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

For centuries, scientists have known that oceans move and swirl, shifting water across the planet. But recent breakthroughs are revealing that some of the smallest currents are surprisingly powerful ...

A massive undersea 'metropolis' discovered; several possible anti-aging breakthroughs; potential first evidence of a ...

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

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 ...

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 ...

As global electricity use grows, the strain on traditional energy sources increases. Renewable options like wind and solar have become popular, yet there's a massive, largely untapped resource beneath ...

The Surface Water and Ocean Topography (SWOT) satellite is allowing researchers to directly observe small-scale ocean processes across the globe for the first time. An eddy is like a mini whirlpool in ...

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.

The seas have long sustained human life, but a new UC Santa Barbara study shows that rising climate and human pressures are ...

Scientists have found new evidence that a massive comet trail may have caused climate upheaval on Earth more than 12,000 years ago. Tiny particles detected in ocean sediment cores suggest that dust ...
