The Southern Ocean can release stored heat during cooling, creating short-term warming. This discovery shows climate recovery ...

A subpolar gyre is a large-scale ocean current system located at high latitudes created by a persistent region of low ...

As warming weakens ocean circulation, the seas could increasingly become a source of heat-trapping gas, a new study finds. “Some climate models predict a 30 percent slowdown in the ocean circulation ...

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 ...

In the darkness of the deep ocean, where pressure crushes and light fails, an expedition has found an astonishing array of ...

A groundbreaking study in the journal Science, has unveiled how deep ocean currents—known as global overturning circulation—play a pivotal role in shaping the diversity and function of microbial life ...

Scientists may have to rethink the relationship between the ocean's circulation and its long-term capacity to store carbon, new research suggests. As the ocean gets weaker, it could release more ...

The Southern Ocean absorbs nearly half of all ocean-stored human CO2, but its future role is uncertain. Despite models ...

Colossal undersea mountains, towering up to thousands of metres high, stir up deep sea currents: impacting how our ocean stores heat and carbon. An international team, led by the University of ...

When it comes to the ocean’s response to global warming, we’re not in entirely uncharted waters. A UC Riverside study shows that episodes of extreme heat in Earth’s past caused the exchange of waters ...
