An AMOC collapse would usher in global weather and climate shifts — including plunging temperatures in Europe, which relies ...

For centuries, scientists have known that oceans move and swirl, shifting water across the planet. But recent breakthroughs ...

Just below Greenland is a menacing stretch of water known as the Cold Blob. As the planet heats up, the Cold Blob remains a ...

These included calls to “acknowledge the deep ocean’s critical role, and the scale of what we still do not know” and to ...

Surface currents are relatively easy to measure and track. But those in the deep ocean are mostly a mystery. Now, a new study published in Nature Geoscience unveiled the biggest data set to date ...

This deep ocean current has remained in a relatively stable state for thousands of years, but with increasing greenhouse gas emissions, Antarctic overturning is predicted to slow down ...

Due to global warming, a deep ocean current around Antarctica that has been relatively stable for thousands of years could head for "collapse" over the next few decades. Such a sudden shift could ...

Ocean science has come a long way since then ... There’s also a potential impact on food security, because these deep currents move the nutrients that have drifted to the bottom of the oceans ...

Here’s how it works. Deep ocean currents around Antarctica that are vital to marine life have slowed by 30% since the 1990s and could soon grind to a complete halt, a new study finds.

The findings suggest that current simulations used to track the flow of sediment and pollutants in the deep sea and reconstruct ancient ocean conditions need an update. "These conveyor belts of ...
