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 ...

Ice-sheet melt temporarily intensified Southern Ocean stratification between ice ages and warmer interglacial periods, thus ...

One of the ocean's saltiest regions has become 30 per cent less salty - sparking fears the Gulf Stream could be inching closer to a catastrophic collapse.

Han’s team estimates that the area covered by salty seawater in this Southern Indian Ocean region has shrunk by about 30% over the past 60 years. They describe it as the fastest freshening seen ...

A new study shows that during the last two deglaciations, i.e., the transition from an ice age to the warm interglacial periods, meltwater from the Antarctic ice sheet intensified stratification in ...

Scientists warn that the weakening of the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation, linked to the Gulf Stream, could trigger severe global disruptions.

It’s part of the scenario in “The Day After Tomorrow,” but scientists differ over whether or how fast it may occur. A team ...

Scientists are again examining the strength of the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation, the vast ocean system that ...
