The oceans are mostly composed of warm salty water near the surface over cold, less salty water in the ocean depths. These ...

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 ...

Something’s stirring in the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC) – and a strange “hole” of cold water in the ...

In two recent studies, researchers suggest a weakening ocean current system is to blame for a persistent cold spot in the ...

Week 3 (1/25): Modern ocean circulation (instructor presentations by Tom and Scott) and Early thinking about the glacial circulation Required Reading: Weyl, The role of the ocean in climatic change: A ...

Biogeographical regions of marine organisms, i.e., their distribution across different habitats, often overlap well with the ...

Scientists may have to rethink the relationship between the ocean's circulation and its long-term capacity to store carbon, new research suggests. As the ocean gets weaker, it could release more ...

Large sea anchors could be used to drag water under a bold plan to keep the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation ...

Critical ocean circulation won’t entirely collapse because of climate crisis - but it’s still in trouble. Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation, a key engine of world’s weather ...

The study confirms that the North Atlantic cold patch is due to a weakening ocean current system, not aerosols or wind ...

Scientists may have to rethink the relationship between the ocean’s circulation and its long-term capacity to store carbon, new research from MIT suggests. As the ocean gets weaker, it could ...
