An artistic visualization of ocean currents from NASA has people mesmerized learning about our planet's underwater highways.

The Global Ocean Observing System informs weather forecasts and climate projections. But funding pressures could create data ...

The potential collapse of a key Atlantic ocean current − due to human-caused climate change − is in the news again. You'd be hard-pressed to come up with a scarier scenario than what's going on now ...

The ocean is essentially our planet's climate control system, a massive engine that never stops working. For thousands of years, this intricate network of currents has maintained Earth's weather ...

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.

The Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC) is a large-scale and delicate system of ocean currents, responsible for our warm climate.

Something strange is happening beneath the surface of the world's oceans, and scientists are paying close attention. Currents that have kept global temperatures relatively stable for thousands of ...

Ocean currents driven by wind, water density, tides, ocean floor features, or the Coriolis effect, have an important role on climate regulation and marine ecology. In turn, increasing water surface ...

California sea otters maintain a warm body temperature in cold waters, which increases their energy demands to about three ...
