The last ice age did not shut down Atlantic ocean currents, and that discovery may help explain future climate risks.

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

Bottom a) temperature (°C) and c) salinity (psu) from the observational climatological mean on the continental shelf over 1975–2012 based on ref. 72 and in the abyss over 1955–2017 based on the World ...

Just below Greenland is a menacing stretch of water known as the Cold Blob. As the planet heats up, the Cold Blob remains a spooky outlier — positioned right above the area where the Atlantic Ocean’s ...

Ocean microbes keep the planet healthy by cycling nutrients and capturing carbon, but a detailed and precise map of where they live had never been made—until now.

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 ...

One of the most important functions of the ocean is to move heat around the planet via currents. Think of the ocean as Earth's central heating system, constantly redistributing thermal energy from the ...

New research from an international group looking at ancient sediment cores in the North Atlantic has for the first time shown a strong correlation between sediment changes and a marked period of ...
