As global electricity use grows, the strain on traditional energy sources increases. Renewable options like wind and solar ...

After sifting through ocean current data dating back three decades, researchers at the Florida Atlantic University (FAU) have ...

Scientists use satellite data to find ocean zones where trash naturally gathers for easier, faster, and cleaner clean-up.

Ocean currents respond to changes in temperature, salt levels, wind patterns and sea ice extent. So the global ocean conveyor belt is vulnerable to climate change on multiple fronts. Previous ...

Climate models predict that even under extreme warming, the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation will weaken but not collapse entirely – although this could still have serious impacts ...

The Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation likely won't completely collapse with global warming, but any weakening could ...

The currents have collapsed in the distant past ... who wasn't part of the research. Those Southern Ocean winds pulling the deep water up act “like a powerful pump keeps the AMOC running ...

Part of the system that pumps water, heat and nutrients around the globe is at risk. Climate change could slow the Antarctic ...

The study found that the combined forces of various ocean currents and winds would keep the system stable even under the most pessimistic climate scenarios. The authors are confident that there is ...
