Melting Antarctic ice is slowing Earth's strongest ocean current, according to a new study. The influx of cold meltwater could slow the Antarctic Circumpolar Current by up to 20% by 2050 ...

Studies on Antarctica have documented how temperatures, glaciers, oceans and wildlife are reacting to the warming consequences of fossil fuel emissions. A place this remote and isolated makes a ...

Scientists used one of Australia's most powerful supercomputers to model how melting ice sheets might change the Antarctic Circumpolar Current, which plays a major role in global climate patterns.

A23a entered the Antarctic Circumpolar Current (ACC), which would normally cause the berg to move faster. However, it has instead got caught up in a Taylor column, a type of vortex. A Taylor ...

But a new study suggests the Antarctic Circumpolar Current (ACC), which until now has been extremely stable, might begin to slow down in the next 25 years, with potentially severe consequences for ...
