Scientists have uncovered strong evidence that a major Atlantic Ocean current system tied to global climate is weakening. The ...

A little background: What’s so special about the Galápagos? There is far more than one could learn in a lifetime about geology, ecology, biology, and evolution from the Galápagos Archipelago, and part ...

Historically, the ocean has been difficult to model. Scientists struggled in years past to simulate ocean currents or accurately predict fluctuations in temperature, salinity, and other properties. As ...

In order to understand currents, tides and other ocean dynamics, scientists need to accurately capture sea surface height, or a snapshot of the ocean's surface, including peaks and valleys due to ...

New research provides alarming evidence this ocean circulation is slowing and could be heading toward a shutdown, which would ...

GOES-East satellite observations and machine learning have, for the first time, connected this observed structure to the much more difficult problem of observing ocean currents. Credit: Luc ...

Oceans are experiencing sudden temperature changes due to climate change, affecting marine ecosystems and global fisheries.

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, ...

Scientists have developed a new method to measure ocean surface currents over large areas in greater detail than ever before. Called GOFLOW (Geostationary Ocean Flow), the approach applies deep ...

Something strange is happening beneath the surface of the world's oceans, and scientists are paying close attention. Currents that have kept global temperatures relatively stable for thousands of ...

On land, we’re familiar with heatwaves and cold snaps. But the deep sea also experiences prolonged periods of hot and cold. Marine heatwaves and cold spells can severely damage ocean ecosystems and ...
