You might think only massive ocean currents like the Gulf Stream affect global weather. But swirling mini-currents, known as submesoscale eddies, play a crucial hidden role.

The Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC), the system that forms part of the Gulf Stream — an Atlantic Ocean current that keeps Europe from becoming frigid — could start shutting down in ...

The vast ice of Antarctica has long seemed impregnable. But sudden changes are arriving – from shrinking sea ice to melting ...

A significant 7.4 magnitude earthquake rattled the Drake Passage on August 22, 2025, triggering tsunami warnings for ...

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 ...

Rising global temperatures are causing the Atlantic Ocean currents to weaken and overturn. This disruption in the ocean current movement has a large impact on global weather conditions.

New modelling and observations suggest a non-trivial risk that the Atlantic 'Gulf Stream' circulation (AMOC) could tip within decades, reshaping UK and European weather, even as other studies say a ...

A new study warns that irreversible changes happening in Antarctica, which are caused by climate change, could cause global ...

A major ocean current in the Southern Hemisphere has reversed direction for the first time in recorded history, in what climatologists are calling a “catastrophic” tipping point in the global ...

Glaciers holding massive amounts of water are melting at unprecedented rates, reshaping ocean systems and influencing conditions in the Pacific Northwest and beyond.

Biogeographical regions of marine organisms, i.e., their distribution across different habitats, often overlap well with the major global ocean currents. The geological age of the currents plays a ...
