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

Emerging scientific research suggests a grim reality where the Atlantic Ocean’s formidable currents may collapse within the next few decades. This potential collapse, fuelled by the relentless ...

The first month of the new year will be long and variable, marked by the clash between mild Atlantic currents and cold polar ...

As the planet warms, it risks crossing catastrophic tipping points: thresholds where Earth systems, such as ice sheets and rainforests, change irreversibly over human lifetimes. Melting ice sheets in ...

A subpolar gyre is a large-scale ocean current system located at high latitudes created by a persistent region of low atmospheric pressure. These gyres circulate water in a cyclonic direction – ...

The Atlantic meridional overturning circulation (AMOC) is a major oceanic current determining global climate that is showing signs of weakening. It transports warmer waters northwards in the Atlantic ...

During the last ice age, the Atlantic Ocean’s powerful current system remained active and continued to transport warm, salty water from the tropics to the North Atlantic despite extensive ice cover ...
