Melting ice could weaken Earth's strongest ocean current 20% by 2050, study reveals.

Discover how the Coriolis effect shapes weather patterns across the globe, including ocean currents and a hurricane’s spin.

The Atlantic meridional overturning circulation (AMOC) is a system of ocean currents that transports warm water from the tropics northwards into the North Atlantic. In recent years it has emerged that ...

A conveyor belt of ocean water that loops the planet and regulates global temperatures could be heading for a tipping point.

Fresh water from melting Antarctic ice is projected to weaken the world’s most powerful ocean current by 20 percent in the next quarter century, an international team of scientists concluded in a ...

A major current that runs the length of the Atlantic Ocean and plays an important role in the planet's climate may be approaching a tipping point that would lead to its collapse, researchers have ...

Europe is the fastest-warming continent, and in 2026, there are big concerns about climate change driving more extreme weather and health impacts for those of us who live here. This week, an arctic ...

The Arctic is warming at three to four times the global average. However, new research suggests the slowing of a key ocean current could reduce projected Arctic warming by up to 2 degrees Celsius by ...

Glaciers are melting at an alarming rate. As this cold fresh water from glacier melt enters lakes and oceans, it can have a big effect on how the water behaves — and on the fish, mammals, and other ...
