Researchers have collected the first multi-year record of ocean conditions hidden beneath Antarctica’s largest ice shelf, ...

New Antarctic research shows the deepest layer of the Southern Ocean is shrinking faster than scientists realized, with the ...

Ocean circulation is the global conveyor belt that redistributes heat, salt and nutrients, shaping climate patterns and marine ecosystems. At the heart of this system are boundary currents, narrow and ...

Much of Earth's heat uptake is passed to the ocean, making ocean heat content key for understanding long-term climate patterns. Ocean heat content is typically lower during ice ages and rises during ...

The World Meteorological Organization has warned that record-breaking ocean heat observed in 2024 signals a “climate imbalance” that could persist for centuries to millennia, locking in sea-level rise ...

Often called the "cold blob", this swath of water in the North Atlantic has bucked the global warming trend, cooling even as the planet's temperatures rise due to human-induced climate change.

As temperatures rise, scientists are investigating whether a changing Atlantic could bring more volatile weather to the UK ...

The Earth’s oceans circulate through a complex interplay of wind forcing, buoyancy exchanges and interactions with the seafloor, redistributing heat and regulating global climate. At the surface, ...

The ocean’s ability to absorb heat into its depths appears to be rapidly declining, leading to prolonged marine heatwaves, increased ocean warming and greater stress on marine ecosystems. The loss of ...

Human emissions have pushed the Earth into an energy imbalance, the effects of which are most clearly felt in the ocean. Since the start of the Industrial Revolution, the ocean has absorbed more than ...

Tiny poops are supposed to sink to the seafloor, locking away carbon. But scientists have found that warm spells are disrupting that flushing. Reading time 6 minutes This story was originally ...

We’re in the middle of a heatwave, so why is the ‘cold blob’ in the North Atlantic causing so much concern? - LET’S UNPACK THAT: A large expanse of the North Atlantic Ocean has been bucking the global ...
