A team of researchers reconstructed a critical ocean current system — called the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation, or AMOC — in computer models and found no evidence of long-term weakening ...
The weakening of the Atlantic meridional overturning circulation could be bolstering rainfall over the Amazon, reducing the ...
A current system in the Atlantic Ocean that's crucial for regulating the world's weather and ecosystems might be more stable against climate change than previously thought, according to a new study ...

It has also slowed the deepest current in the global overturning circulation, a system of ocean currents that circulates water around the globe. Like the glaciers that feed them, ice shelves are ...
Investing in ocean research, infrastructure, and the ocean studies workforce is needed to understand how a changing ocean ...
A University of Washington study looked at how a major current in the Atlantic Ocean that includes the Gulf Stream will respond to a doubling of carbon dioxide from preindustrial levels.
Millions of years from now, northern Africa could be home to a new ocean, as tectonic plates pull apart along the East African Rift System, according to scientists. Experts have long known that ...
These bundles, propelled by ocean currents, mingle in the water until they encounter a match. This image captures the spectacle as it unfolds only once a year and lasts just a few minutes.
