The oceans are mostly composed of warm salty water near the surface over cold, less salty water in the ocean depths. These ...
In two recent studies, researchers suggest a weakening ocean current system is to blame for a persistent cold spot in the ...
For decades, scientists believed the Arctic Ocean was sealed under a massive slab of ice during the coldest ice ages — but new research proves otherwise. Sediment samples from the seafloor, paired ...
For years, scientists have debated whether a giant thick ice shelf once covered the entire Arctic Ocean during the coldest ...
