Melting Antarctic ice is slowing Earth's strongest ocean current, according to a new study. The influx of cold meltwater ...

It picks up the intricate interactions between ice melting and ocean circulation. In this future projection, cold, fresh melt water from Antarctica migrates north, filling the deep ocean as it goes.

If the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation were to collapse, it would have profound implications for global climate ...

The Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation, or AMOC, a massive system of ocean currents, helps regulate global weather patterns by transporting warm water north and cold water south.

The Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation likely won't completely collapse with global warming, but any weakening could ...

Global warming is having an impact on Atlantic Ocean currents that could lead to significant shifts in weather patterns in ...

A weakening of the North Atlantic overturning circulation would cause the ocean to absorb less carbon dioxide - and this is ...

Explore the impact of Antarctic ice melt on the Antarctic Circumpolar Current and global climate change predictions.

A mesmerizing new visualization of ocean currents from NASA has been compared to the Starry Night painting of Van Gogh.

Scientists warn that Antarctic ice melt could significantly weaken a key ocean current, impacting sea levels and ecosystems.

A major motor for the global climate is beginning to falter: a massive system of ocean currents called the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC), which also includes the Gulf Stream.

The influx of cold meltwater could slow the Antarctic Circumpolar Current by up to 20% by 2050, researchers reported March 3 ...
