For more than a century, a patch of cold water south of Greenland has resisted the Atlantic Ocean's overall warming, fueling debate among scientists. A new study identifies the cause as the long ...

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.

Thinner Arctic sea ice may affect global ocean circulation Date: March 31, 2025 Source: University of Gothenburg Summary: One of the ocean currents in the Arctic Ocean is at risk of disappearing ...

suggests the recent weakening of the oceanic circulation can potentially be explained if meltwater from the Greenland ice sheet and Canadian glaciers is taken into account.

Forty-four of the world's leading climate scientists have called on Nordic policymakers to address the potentially imminent and "devastating" collapse of key Atlantic Ocean currents. The currents ...

Scientists may have to rethink the relationship between the ocean’s circulation and its long-term capacity to store carbon, new research from MIT suggests. As the ocean gets weaker, it could ...

Researchers found that if melting glaciers shut down the Atlantic Ocean’s circulation pattern, the global climate could see major changes within just 100 years ...

A new study has investigated how future changes in weather patterns could affect the tropical Pacific Ocean and its ecosystems. The research, based on complex computer models, has shown that these ...

Scientists: Critical Ocean Currents Could Collapse Within Decades Antarctic ice melt will halt circulation, new research predicts, with dire global impacts.

Melting ice in the Antarctic is not just raising sea levels but slowing down the circulation of deep ocean water with vast implications for the global climate and for marine life, a new study warns.

It is the circulation of the ocean which, by redistributing heat, limits the temperature difference between tropics and poles to about 30°C.

The ocean currents during the Pliocene era have predominantly been investigated through models that use temperature to describe circulation, but there are a wide variety of conflicting results that ...
