Antarctica’s ice, ocean, and ecosystems are approaching tipping points that could trigger irreversible global impacts.

The Southern Ocean is a pivotal component of the Earth's climate system, significantly influencing global oceanic circulation ...

Its first satellite dedicated to ocean salinity detection has completed all in-orbit tests, paving the way for long-term ...

The ocean has helped mitigate global warming by absorbing about a quarter of anthropogenic carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions, ...

As warming weakens ocean circulation, the seas could increasingly become a source of heat-trapping gas, a new study finds. “Some climate models predict a 30 percent slowdown in the ocean circulation ...

As climate change advances, the ocean’s overturning circulation is predicted to weaken substantially. With such a slowdown, scientists estimate the ocean will pull down less carbon dioxide from the ...

The Indian Ocean Geoid Low ranks as the largest negative "gravity hole" anomaly on Earth, which is why the “thumbprint” jumps ...

How will climate change influence the ocean’s circulation in the future? This is what a recent study published in Nature Communications hopes to address as a researcher from Massachusetts Institute of ...

A new study strengthens evidence that the oceans and climate are linked in an intricate dance, and that rapid climate change may be related to how vigorously ocean currents transport heat from low to ...

New research from the University of St Andrews has shed light on a crucial mechanism of lowering atmospheric CO2 during Earth ...

Scientists may have to rethink the relationship between the ocean's circulation and its long-term capacity to store carbon, new research suggests. As the ocean gets weaker, it could release more ...
