Understanding how the oceans behaved in the past — especially during extremely cold periods — is crucial for testing the models used to project future climate change. The peak of the last ice age, the ...

The Atlantic Ocean has long been treated as a permanent fixture on world maps, a blue expanse separating North America from Europe and Africa. Yet a growing body of research suggests this basin is far ...

A paper published in the journal Science Advances is adding to the growing body of research showing that the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC) is weakening. In this new study, instead ...

Some newly published findings from an Idaho State University professor and his colleagues point out how changes to currents an ocean away can impact climates on the other side of the globe. The new ...

Scientists have uncovered strong evidence that a major Atlantic Ocean current system tied to global climate is weakening. The slowdown has been detected across a vast region of the North Atlantic over ...

The critical system of ocean currents which loops around the Atlantic Ocean is weakening and could be far closer to collapse than previously thought, according to two new studies — an event which ...
