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

The research is another sign that climate heating caused mainly by fossil fuel pollution is pushing the climate toward ...

The melting of the immense ice sheets that once covered our planet profoundly altered ocean levels at the end of the last ice ...

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 ...

By evaluating historical climate records, observational and projection data, an international team of researchers found a ...

Climate models suggest that climate change could reduce the Southern Ocean's ability to absorb carbon dioxide (CO2). However, ...

Ancient clam shells reveal Atlantic Ocean currents are becoming dangerously unstable, approaching critical climate tipping point.

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 ...

The Edwards A. Flinn III Award recognizes scientists who embody the American Geophysical Union's motto "unselfish cooperation ...

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 ...
