A current key to stabilizing climates across the Atlantic and beyond could be one-third weaker by 2040, a new study has ...

Scientists have pinpointed the ocean engine with the biggest role in driving key Atlantic currents that regulate Earth's climate, new research suggests. The Irminger Sea off southeastern Greenland ...

The AMOC, often referred to as the “great ocean conveyor,” plays a crucial role in regulating global climate. This complex system of currents, which includes the Gulf Stream, transports warm, salty ...

Global warming caused vital Atlantic Ocean currents to collapse just before the last ice age, a new study suggests. The weakening currents triggered a cascade of effects, resulting in a dramatic ...

The "Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation" (AMOC) is a complex system of ocean currents, including the Gulf Stream, which carries heat from warmer regions to the north and is therefore ...

New modeling research reveals that the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC) is particularly vulnerable to ...

The currents carry vital heat, oxygen, carbon and nutrients around the globe. Previous research suggests a slowdown in the North Atlantic current could cause Europe to become colder. The study ...

Scientists warned for the first time in a new report that melting ice sheets might be slowing key ocean currents at both ...

For more financial news, go to the News24 Business front page. A group of scientists warned Monday of the greatly underestimated risk of a collapse of ocean currents in the Atlantic which could have ...

They include ice melt that could cause severe sea-level rise and the collapse of a crucial ocean current that governs how heat cycles in the Atlantic Ocean. Venezuela lost its final glacier this year.
