The ocean is essentially our planet's climate control system, a massive engine that never stops working. For thousands of ...

In Roland Emmerich’s The Day After Tomorrow (streaming now on Peacock!), paleoclimatologist Jack Hall (Dennis Quaid) is gathering ice core samples when a chunk of ice the size of Rhode Island breaks ...

A warming climate doesn't just affect dry land — it affects the ocean, too. For many years, Earth's ocean has acted as a heat sink for climate change: A large part of the heat generated by human use ...

A team of NASA and university scientists has developed a new way to use satellite measurements to track changes in Atlantic Ocean currents, which are a driving force in global climate. The finding ...

The Southern Ocean can release stored heat during cooling, creating short-term warming. This discovery shows climate recovery ...

Getting your Trinity Audio player ready... A sprawling, slow-moving system of ocean currents circulating in the Atlantic that help regulate the earth’s temperature is set to deliver a blob of warmer, ...

The Surface Water and Ocean Topography mission will explore how the ocean absorbs atmospheric heat and carbon, moderating global temperatures and climate change. Though climate change is driving sea ...

Ocean surface currents are a fundamental component of the global climate system, governing the transport of heat, nutrients and pollutants, as well as influencing marine ecosystems and weather ...

The paper found that the water in the Southern Ocean has unexpectedly been getting saltier over the last 10 years, a reversal of a trend measured since roughly the 1970s. Its main author told Snopes ...

A student-led research group from Tohoku University has discovered a new species of the venomous Physalia (commonly known as ...

Beneath the surface of the world's oceans, powerful currents act like invisible highways for marine life. These massive water ...
