Could ocean currents ensure that global warming continues even after we have reached carbon-neutrality?  One of the concepts ...

This transport of water drives the global thermohaline circulation (i.e. the circulation of heat and salt) within the ocean. This has been called the Global Conveyor Belt. Graphic illustrating the ...

Scientists at the UK’s National Oceanography Center (NOC) are to lead critical research into forecasting a significant climate ...

Circulation problems impact millions globally, causing discomfort and lead to various health issues, from cold extremities to more serious cardiovascular conditions. While medical treatments play ...

A team of researchers reconstructed this critical ocean circulation system — called the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation, or AMOC — in computer models. They found no evidence of ...
