An analysis of clam shells suggests the North Atlantic subpolar gyre has had two periods of destabilization over the past 150 ...

A new study analyzing chemical traces in the growth rings of clam shells reinforces growing concerns about the stability of a ...

"There is already sufficient evidence to conclude that [it] would have negative regional implications." Researchers sound ...

The Atlantic meridional overturning circulation (AMOC) is a major oceanic current determining global climate that is showing signs of weakening. It transports warmer waters northwards in the Atlantic ...

A mysterious patch of water in the North Atlantic has baffled scientists for decades. Located to the southeast of Greenland, this blob of seawater was colder between 1901 and 2021 than during the late ...

The AMOC essentially acts as a very slow conveyor belt circulating warm water north and cool water south. As the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration has explained, the whole process takes ...

Getting your Trinity Audio player ready... A sprawling, slow-moving system of ocean currents circulating in the Atlantic that help regulate the earth’s temperature is set to deliver a blob of warmer, ...

Until now, a global evaluation of ocean current energy with actual data was lacking. Using 30 years of NOAA's Global Drifter Program data, a study shows that ocean currents off Florida's East Coast ...

Parts of the Amazon rainforest could see a 40 percent drop in annual rainfall if climate change slows the Atlantic Meridional Ocean Circulation (AMOC), according to a new study led by CU Boulder with ...

Scientists have spotted something dramatically unusual in the ocean, and it could be a warning sign of things to come. Warm air dances with cold air; cold water chases warm water. It's all a part of a ...

Species across the planet are on the move. Climate change has already caused more than 12,000 species to shift their homes ...
