The Antarctic Intermediate Water (AAIW)—a vast layer of fresh water spanning much of the Southern Hemisphere's ocean—has ...

Something strange is happening beneath the surface of the world's oceans, and scientists are paying close attention. Currents that have kept global temperatures relatively stable for thousands of ...

An Amoc collapse would dramatically alter the world’s climate – often in unexpected ways. Our new study shows how governments ...

Add Yahoo as a preferred source to see more of our stories on Google. The National Science Foundation has begun dismantling a major ocean monitoring network more than a decade earlier than planned.

Scientific models have predicted that climate change will drive oceans in the Northern Hemisphere to warm faster than oceans in the Southern Hemisphere. However, observational data over the last 70 ...

New research reveals a powerful yet overlooked driver of climate change: intensifying ocean eddies. These swirling currents—that break off from major currents—are redistributing heat and nutrients in ...

To most people, adapting to climate change means preparing for warmer temperatures. It’s why we’re finally getting some long-overdue reservoirs in the UK, why Kent now has an abundance of vineyards ...

Decades of independent observations and improved methods strengthen the evidence that greenhouse gases are changing Earth’s climate.

On September 22, Hurricane Polo underwent extreme rapid intensification, reaching Category 5 strength with sustained winds of 180 mph off the southwestern coast of Mexico. As of September 23, Polo has ...

As human activities have released greenhouse gases into the atmosphere, trapping excess heat and warming the planet, the ocean has absorbed more than 90% of that excess heat since the 1970s. The ocean ...
