It’s part of the scenario in “The Day After Tomorrow,” but scientists differ over whether or how fast it may occur. A team ...

By 2050, offshore wind power capacity in the North Sea is set to increase more than tenfold. Researchers at the Helmholtz Center Hereon have analyzed the long-term overall impact of this large number ...

Fresh evidence from sediment cores, satellite records, and deep-ocean sensors is converging on a troubling finding: meltwater ...

A warming climate doesn't just affect dry land — it affects the ocean, too. For many years, Earth's ocean has acted as a heat sink for climate change: A large part of the heat generated by human use ...

Using advanced computer simulations, researchers from the University of Rhode Island's Graduate School of Oceanography (GSO) ...

The Surface Water and Ocean Topography mission will explore how the ocean absorbs atmospheric heat and carbon, moderating global temperatures and climate change. Though climate change is driving sea ...

Ocean Dynamics and Surface Exchange with the Atmosphere (ODYSEA) The second UC San Diego-selected concept is led by Gille and called the Ocean Dynamics and Surface Exchange with the Atmosphere (ODYSEA ...

A groundbreaking study in the journal Science, has unveiled how deep ocean currents—known as global overturning circulation—play a pivotal role in shaping the diversity and function of microbial life ...

The paper found that the water in the Southern Ocean has unexpectedly been getting saltier over the last 10 years, a reversal of a trend measured since roughly the 1970s. Its main author told Snopes ...

Ocean surface currents are a fundamental component of the global climate system, governing the transport of heat, nutrients and pollutants, as well as influencing marine ecosystems and weather ...

The ocean is always moving. Even in calm marinas or at the bottom of the sea, the water is never standing still. Ocean currents describe the movement of water from one location to another. There are ...
