Shifts in the Gulf Stream could help researchers predict the human-driven failure of a huge system of ocean currents known as the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation.

A warming climate doesn't just affect dry land — it affects the ocean, too. For many years, Earth's ocean has acted as a heat sink for climate change: A large part of the heat generated by human use ...

The retreat of ice in the Barents Sea could be strengthening a key ocean current that regulates global climate.

In this first glimpse of the "Sea Camp" series from NPR's Short Wave podcast, hear how climate change will significantly shift three-quarters of the ocean's surface currents by the end of the century.

Ocean Dynamics and Surface Exchange with the Atmosphere (ODYSEA) The second UC San Diego-selected concept is led by Gille and called the Ocean Dynamics and Surface Exchange with the Atmosphere (ODYSEA ...

The Surface Water and Ocean Topography mission will explore how the ocean absorbs atmospheric heat and carbon, moderating global temperatures and climate change. Though climate change is driving sea ...

Ocean surface currents are a fundamental component of the global climate system, governing the transport of heat, nutrients and pollutants, as well as influencing marine ecosystems and weather ...

For years, climate experts have been sounding the alarm about the worsening impacts of global warming, and a report made by a European news wire agency over the weekend heightened the concerns in an ...

The ocean is always moving. Even in calm marinas or at the bottom of the sea, the water is never standing still. Ocean currents describe the movement of water from one location to another. There are ...

"Driven by three presidential executive orders signed in 2025, the Bureau of Ocean Energy Management wants to loosen its rules governing seabed mining, which could commence in a matter of years in ...
