New research from the University of Copenhagen suggests that volcanic eruptions during the Ice Age may have triggered sudden ...

A new study suggests the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation has not weakened since the 1960s — but there's no doubt the circulation will slow in the future, experts say. When you purchase ...

A new study has concluded that the collapse of a "prominent and powerful" ocean current would have serious impacts on Europe. This marks the first time researchers have tested multiple climate ...

A system of Atlantic Ocean currents crucial for regulating the world's weather and ecosystems might be more resilient against climate change than previously thought, a new study found. Researchers ...

Previous AMOC studies relied on sea surface temperature data. A CTD rosette device measures the ocean’s conductivity, temperature, and depth by collecting water samples at varying depths, makingmodels ...

The nightmare scenario of Atlantic Ocean currents collapsing, with weather running amok and putting Europe in a deep freeze, looks unlikely this century, a new study concludes. In recent years, ...

The global ocean “conveyor belt” circulation, shown in part here as red and blue lines, circulates cooler seawater below the surface and warmer seawater at the surface throughout the world’s oceans.

The climate fiction movie The Day After Tomorrow, released in 2004, popularized the devastating effects of sudden climate ...

The southern Indian Ocean off the west coast of Australia is becoming less salty at an astonishing rate, largely due to ...

Atlantic ocean currents that respond to climate change are hurtling toward a tipping point that could cause severe impacts before the end of this century, a new study finds. The currents are those ...
