The weakening of the Atlantic meridional overturning circulation could be bolstering rainfall over the Amazon, reducing the ...

Discover how sea turtles navigate the ocean using their internal GPS and learn about their magnetic field perception.

A new area equivalent in size to Sweden has been mapped in the Arctic Ocean, contributing to the project’s aim to map global seafloor by 2030 By 2030, a collaborative project aims to have entirely ...

The Arctic is warming faster than anywhere else on the planet, and as a result, sea ice in the Arctic Ocean is decreasing. Sea ice loss has far-reaching effects on the planet because the ice helps ...

"However, its recent path shows that it is in an ocean current jet – something like an atmospheric jet stream – that should take it toward the island over the coming weeks. " The iceberg ...

A University of Washington study looked at how a major current in the Atlantic Ocean that includes the Gulf Stream will respond to a doubling of carbon dioxide from preindustrial levels.

The study helps explain why 2023 and early 2024 saw unprecedented ocean temperatures. The rate of ocean warming has more than quadrupled over the past four decades, a new study has shown.

The surface of the ocean is warming four times faster than it was 40 years ago, scientists have warned. As the Earth absorbs more heat and reflects less back into space, this increase is only set to ...

In the movie “The Day After Tomorrow,” the Atlantic Ocean’s main current system is disrupted and sets off a chain of disastrous events from monster storms to an Ice Age across the northern ...

"We took a step back and recognised that the ocean, and particularly beneath the surface of the ocean was one of the last remaining blind spots for humanity," said Sean Wolpert, the president of DEEP.

It has also slowed the deepest current in the global overturning circulation, a system of ocean currents that circulates water around the globe. Like the glaciers that feed them, ice shelves are ...
