Fluorescent-colored sand sprinkled on San Diego County beaches could help reveal the complicated patterns of erosion that plague the region’s coastline. A so-called “tracer study” would use ...
The Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC) regulates the large-scale circulation of the Atlantic Ocean and influences the global climate, but a recent report from researchers at Utrecht ...
The Antarctic Circumpolar Current (ACC), the strongest ocean current on Earth, is rapidly weakening due to the accelerating ...
A critical system of Atlantic Ocean currents may be approaching collapse, which scientists warn will have a dangerous impact on our global climate. The Atlantic meridional overturning circulation ...
Glaciers are melting at an alarming rate. As this cold fresh water from glacier melt enters lakes and oceans, it can have a big effect on how the water behaves — and on the fish, mammals, and other ...
Ocean currents driven by wind, water density, tides, ocean floor features, or the Coriolis effect, have an important role on climate regulation and marine ecology. In turn, increasing water surface ...
The widespread death of coral reefs is the first in a series of catastrophic and potentially irreversible tipping points the world may hit, according to a landmark report produced by 160 scientists ...
The oceans play an important role in the earth’s climate; they transport heat from equator to pole, provide moisture for rain, and absorb carbon dioxide from the atmosphere. Ocean models, such as this ...
