The ocean is a vital part of our planet's climate system. Through its global circulation patterns, the ocean draws vast quantities of our planet's heat and carbon dioxide out of the atmosphere.

A major ocean current in the Arctic, the Beaufort Gyre, is changing rapidly due to climate warming—and this could trigger a ...

New research suggests continued global warming could put a major Arctic ocean current in serious trouble, and that the consequences could extend far beyond the North.

Global warming is having an impact on Atlantic Ocean currents that could lead to significant shifts in weather patterns in many parts of the world, according to research from numerous climate ...

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

We know more about the Moon’s surface than Earth’s ocean floor — but that’s changing fast. A NASA-supported team used a ...

One of the ocean currents in the Arctic Ocean is at risk of disappearing this century because of climate change, according to a new study. As a result, the North Atlantic could be flooded with ...

One of the ocean currents in the Arctic Ocean is at risk of disappearing this century because of climate change, according to ...

A new study analyzed nearly four decades of deep ocean observations to reveal significant cooling and freshening of deep ...

Until recently, scientists lacked comprehensive global data on ocean current energy. Many studies examined ocean currents regionally, but few evaluated worldwide potential with real measurements.
