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 ...

One of the most important functions of the ocean is to move heat around the planet via currents. Think of the ocean as Earth's central heating system, constantly redistributing thermal energy from the ...

Bigger than any waterfall on land, this hidden ocean giant flows silently beneath the sea, unseen by human eyes, yet it plays a powerful role in shaping Earth's climate and ocean currents.

Fresh evidence from sediment cores, satellite records, and deep-ocean sensors is converging on a troubling finding: meltwater pouring off the Antarctic ice sheet may be reorganizing the planet’s ocean ...

As global electricity use grows, the strain on traditional energy sources increases. Renewable options like wind and solar have become popular, yet there's a massive, largely untapped resource beneath ...

Key climate tipping points may be closer than expected, raising the risk of accelerating warming, sea-level rise, and ...

Climate change is rapidly freshening one of Earth’s saltiest ocean regions in the Southern Indian Ocean, potentially disrupting circulation.

New research from the University of Copenhagen suggests that volcanic eruptions during the Ice Age may have triggered sudden climate change by disrupting the Atlantic Meridional Overturning ...

A subpolar gyre is a large-scale ocean current system located at high latitudes created by a persistent region of low atmospheric pressure. These gyres circulate water in a cyclonic direction – ...
