A patch of the Atlantic Ocean just south of Greenland is cooling while much of the world warms. The origin of this "cold blob ...

A team of researchers is tapping into the ocean’s vast body of free-floating environmental DNA to catch blooms before they ...

Large sea anchors could be used to drag water under a bold plan to keep the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation ...

Japanese researchers turned to “experimental archaeology” to study how ancient humans navigated powerful ocean currents and ...

The collapse of a crucial network of Atlantic Ocean currents could push parts of the world into a deep freeze, with winter temperatures plunging to around minus 55 degrees Fahrenheit in some ...

In short, the Atlantic ocean current system appears sturdier than some dire forecast models suggested, but it is far from immune to the mounting pressure of greenhouse gases. Better models, grounded ...

By: Dyllan Furness, Director of Communications For more than fifty years, Robert Weisberg has studied the movement of ocean waters. In a new book, Climate to a Fish Sandwich: Why We Study the Ocean’s ...

These autonomous floats drift with deep ocean currents, capturing a series of profiles noting temperature and salinity as they cycle between the deep ocean and the surface. The captured temperature ...

The ocean is a vital part of our planet's climate system. Through its global circulation patterns, the ocean draws vast quantities of our planet's heat and carbon dioxide out of the atmosphere.

So it's a far more accurate way to assess how the current's strength and behaviour will change as the world warms. It picks up the intricate interactions between ice melting and ocean circulation.
