A recent study reveals our warming world is triggering shifts in winds and ocean currents, which is likely contributing to an increase in harmful carbon pollution. An international team of scientists, ...

While scientists have long studied currents of large eddies, the smaller ones -- called submesoscale eddies -- are notoriously difficult to detect. These currents, which range from several kilometers ...

Five times stronger than the Gulf Stream and more than 100 times stronger than the Amazon River, the Antarctic Circumpolar Current (ACC) is the most powerful ocean current on Earth. As it flows around ...

Antarctica’s largest ice shelf, buttressing a dozen major glaciers and slowing their flow into the ocean, may be surprisingly sensitive to warming. Several thousand years ago, the Ross Ice Shelf and ...

The collapse of a crucial network of Atlantic Ocean currents could push parts of the world into a deep freeze, with winter temperatures plunging to around minus 55 degrees Fahrenheit in some cities, ...

The 2004 movie The Day After Tomorrow may have taken some serious artistic licence with climate science, but it got one thing right. Climate change may indeed cause a collapse in global ocean currents ...

Flooding on the US Northeast coast has risen significantly as a critical network of Atlantic Ocean currents weakens, according to a new study — an alarming glimpse into the future as some scientists ...

After sifting through ocean current data dating back three decades, researchers at the Florida Atlantic University (FAU) have identified ideal locations for generating renewable energy. Florida’s east ...
