New research shows, for the first time, an unprecedented and significant warming of equatorial Atlantic upper intermediate ...

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 ...

New research provides alarming evidence this ocean circulation is slowing and could be heading toward a shutdown, which would have catastrophic impacts on the planet’s weather and climate.

An ocean current called the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation will weaken by 50 percent by 2100. The question is ...

Atlantic Ocean currents that are vital for keeping Earth's climate in check will halve in strength by 2100 and may be closer to collapse than first thought, a new study finds. The Atlantic Meridional ...

If the Atlantic circulation system weakened, it could lead to a world of climate chaos. Ice sheets are made of fresh water, so the rapid release of icebergs into the Atlantic Ocean can lower the ocean ...

Some climate simulations indicate that a weakened AMOC could reduce monsoon rainfall over parts of India, especially central and northwestern regions. Others suggest rainfall may become more uneven — ...

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 ...

At the end of the last Ice Age 13 to 11.5 thousand years ago, the North Atlantic Deep Water circulation system that drives the Gulf Stream may have shut down because of melting glaciers that added ...
