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 Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC) serves as the Atlantic Ocean's conveyor belt, transporting warm water north toward the Arctic Circle and returning cold, dense water back to ...

Considered one of the most promising sites for extraterrestrial life, Europa may support life sustained by hydrothermal activity at the seafloor, which also drives ocean circulation. We used NASA’s ...

The oceans are mostly composed of warm salty water near the surface over cold, less salty water in the ocean depths. These two regions don't mix except in certain special areas, which creates a ...

Critical ocean circulation won’t entirely collapse because of climate crisis - but it’s still in trouble Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation, a key engine of world’s weather patterns ...

Scientists have discovered that the warming climate in polar regions may significantly disrupt ocean circulation patterns.

3 Applications assessing the impact of observations on coastal models How observations impact ocean model estimates must be defined in terms of metrics that quantify one or several aspects of the ...

Scientists have created an incredibly detailed 3D brain map that you can zoom into like you're looking at Google Maps.

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

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 ...
