During the last ice age, the Atlantic Ocean's powerful current system remained active and continued to transport warm, salty ...

The last ice age did not shut down Atlantic ocean currents, and that discovery may help explain future climate risks.

A new study has concluded that the collapse of a "prominent and powerful" ocean current would have serious impacts on Europe. This marks the first time researchers have tested multiple climate ...

There's an underwater conveyor belt flowing through the Atlantic that keeps Europe warm and regulates climate across the globe. Yet this enormous system might be heading toward a breaking point. The ...

Many of us have a way of taking the oceans for granted. A place to surf, perhaps, or to enjoy other water sports, or simply admire while sitting on the beach. Those who make their livings in far ...

The Atlantic Ocean is undergoing a rapid and unsettling transformation that is now visible from space and measurable in the deep sea. Scientists tracking temperature patterns and circulation have ...

The ocean is continuously ventilated when surface waters sink and transport, for example, oxygen and carbon to greater depths ...

Researchers found that eroded lava rubble beneath the South Atlantic can trap enormous amounts of CO2 for tens of millions of years. These porous breccia deposits store far more carbon than previously ...
