A new study published in Environmental Research Letters reveals that the melting of Antarctic ice is causing the world's ...

Part of the system that pumps water, heat and nutrients around the globe is at risk. Climate change could slow the Antarctic ...

Melting ice sheets are slowing the Antarctic Circumpolar Current (ACC), the ... who found that the transport of ocean water from the surface to the deep may also slow in the future.

The world's strongest ocean current could slow as melting Antarctic ice sheets flood it with fresh water, according to research published on Monday that warned of "severe" climate consequences.

The current also keeps out warm water. So, a slower ACC might allow that water to reach the Antarctic shelf—which would speed up ice melt and further slow the ACC, triggering a “potentially ...

Scientists have used one of Australia's most powerful supercomputers to show that melting Antarctic ice sheets could slow the world's strongest ocean currents by flooding it with fresh water.
