Scientists have uncovered strong evidence that a major Atlantic Ocean current system tied to global climate is weakening. The ...

New research provides alarming evidence this ocean circulation is slowing and could be heading toward a shutdown, which would have catastrophic impacts on the planet’s weather and climate.

More bad news for the ocean current at the center of the fictional (and scientifically inaccurate) "Day After Tomorrow" climate change disaster movie.

Damming the Bering Strait, a narrow waterway between Russia and Alaska, could prevent the collapse of a crucial network of ...

The ocean is essentially our planet's climate control system, a massive engine that never stops working. For thousands of years, this intricate network of currents has maintained Earth's weather ...

Ocean currents driven by wind, water density, tides, ocean floor features, or the Coriolis effect, have an important role on climate regulation and marine ecology. In turn, increasing water surface ...

GOES-East satellite observations and machine learning have, for the first time, connected this observed structure to the much more difficult problem of observing ocean currents. Credit: Luc ...

For decades, Antarctica seemed to defy global warming. Since satellites began monitoring the poles in the late 1970s, the ...

Research shows Mars' gravitational pull affects Earth's deep-sea currents and climate, causing warming cycles every 2.4 ...
