A team of NASA and university scientists has developed a new way to use satellite measurements to track changes in Atlantic Ocean currents, which are a driving force in global climate. The finding ...

A vital system of Atlantic Ocean currents that influences weather across the world could collapse as soon as the late 2030s, scientists have suggested in a new study — a planetary-scale disaster that ...

A warming climate doesn't just affect dry land — it affects the ocean, too. For many years, Earth's ocean has acted as a heat sink for climate change: A large part of the heat generated by human use ...

A massive system of rotating ocean currents in the North Atlantic is behaving extremely strangely, possibly because it is approaching a tipping point, a new analysis of clam shells shows. The North ...

A key ocean current in the North Atlantic Ocean is weakening to the point of total collapse due to climate change, a new study warns. Scientists say the North Atlantic Subpolar Gyre – a massive system ...

The nightmare scenario of Atlantic Ocean currents collapsing, with weather running amok and putting Europe in a deep freeze, looks unlikely this century, a new study concludes. In recent years, ...

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 ...

The Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC) regulates the large-scale circulation of the Atlantic Ocean and influences the global climate, but a recent report from researchers at Utrecht ...

The Atlantic Ocean currents are slowing down, according to a new study led by a University of Maryland researcher. Specifically, the study found the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC) ...
