Climate science, for all its remarkable progress, still has some very unnerving blank spots. The planet is behaving in ways ...

A new study has revealed significant acceleration in the upper-ocean circulation of the equatorial Pacific over the past 30 years. This acceleration is primarily driven by intensified atmospheric ...

One of the world’s most important ocean currents is dangerously weakening but new research suggests it is unlikely to stop ...

Add Yahoo as a preferred source to see more of our stories on Google. The deepest parts of the Arctic Ocean are experiencing unprecedented warming that scientists warn could accelerate disruptions to ...

Ancient Antarctic ice sheet cycles affected subtropical ocean productivity by altering nutrient circulation. The 40,000-year obliquity cycle played an unexpectedly strong role, revealing deep global ...

A research team developed a satellite -based method to analyze the life cycle of ocean eddies forming along Arctic sea-ice edges. By combining sequential synthetic aperture radar (SAR) images with ...

Using geochemical analyses of marine sediments, researchers have been able to quantitatively reconstruct the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation over the past 12,000 years. An international ...

This research shows how close examination of even microscopic fossils can reveal large-scale patterns such as ocean ...

West-east near-surface current trend between 1993-2022. Blue colors show increased westward currents; red colors show increased eastward currents. The largest trends are observed in the central ...

The warming climate in polar regions may significantly disrupt ocean circulation patterns, a new study indicates. Scientists discovered that in the distant past, growing inflows of freshwater from ...
