The ocean is doing its best to soak up excess heat caused by greenhouse emissions, but once humanity (hopefully) achieves a ...

As warming weakens ocean circulation, the seas could increasingly become a source of heat-trapping gas, a new study finds. “Some climate models predict a 30 percent slowdown in the ocean circulation ...

The Southern Ocean can release stored heat during cooling, creating short-term warming. This discovery shows climate recovery ...

As climate change advances, the ocean’s overturning circulation is predicted to weaken substantially. With such a slowdown, scientists estimate the ocean will pull down less carbon dioxide from the ...

Global scientists warn that humanity is on the verge of crossing irreversible climate thresholds, with coral reefs already at their tipping point and polar ice sheets possibly beyond recovery. The ...

How will climate change influence the ocean’s circulation in the future? This is what a recent study published in Nature Communications hopes to address as a researcher from Massachusetts Institute of ...

For over a century, the Southern Ocean has absorbed vast amounts of carbon and heat, delaying global warming. However, new ...

The research is another sign that climate heating caused mainly by fossil fuel pollution is pushing the climate toward ...

A new study strengthens evidence that the oceans and climate are linked in an intricate dance, and that rapid climate change may be related to how vigorously ocean currents transport heat from low to ...

Changes in ocean circulation and warmer water reaching the ice shelves are probably responsible for this. Meijers emphasizes ...

The Last Glacial Period was characterised by dramatic shifts in climate and ocean circulation that have deeply influenced global carbon cycles and climate variability. Evidence from sediment cores, ...

Scientists may have to rethink the relationship between the ocean's circulation and its long-term capacity to store carbon, new research suggests. As the ocean gets weaker, it could release more ...
