Scientists have detected a northward Gulf Stream shift that may signal a looming Atlantic climate tipping point.
The ocean is a vital part of our planet's climate system. Through its global circulation patterns, the ocean draws vast quantities of our planet's heat and carbon dioxide out of the atmosphere. It's ...
Something strange is happening beneath the surface of the world's oceans, and scientists are paying close attention. Currents that have kept global temperatures relatively stable for thousands of ...
The Atlantic meridional overturning circulation, commonly referred to as the "AMOC," is a system of ocean currents confined to the Atlantic basin that plays a crucial role in regulating Earth's ...
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 ...
Investments supported by the Gulf Research Program (GRP) of the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine are transforming our knowledge of the Loop Current, the dominant physical ...
A massive volcanic eruption can cool the planet within months. What happens next may take centuries. Currently, this potential consequence is a large part of current research being conducted on the ...
