Melting Antarctic ice is slowing Earth's strongest ocean current, according to a new study. The influx of cold meltwater ...

Glacial ice loss is a phenomenon that seems far removed from our everyday lives, but its impact is felt globally. As the ...

The Greenland ice sheet makes up 80 percent of the world’s largest island. And, it’s melting thanks to human-caused climate ...

It picks up the intricate interactions between ice melting and ocean circulation. In this future projection, cold, fresh melt water from Antarctica migrates north, filling the deep ocean as it goes.

The Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation, or AMOC, a massive system of ocean currents, helps regulate global weather patterns by transporting warm water north and cold water south.

Global warming is having an impact on Atlantic Ocean currents that could lead to significant shifts in weather patterns in ...

The Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation likely won't completely collapse with global warming, but any weakening could ...

A major motor for the global climate is beginning to falter: a massive system of ocean currents called the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC), which also includes the Gulf Stream.

Part of the system that pumps water, heat and nutrients around the globe is at risk. Climate change could slow the Antarctic ...

The influx of cold meltwater could slow the Antarctic Circumpolar Current by up to 20% by 2050, researchers reported March 3 ...

Scientists warn that Antarctic ice melt could significantly weaken a key ocean current, impacting sea levels and ecosystems.

Antarctica's remote and mysterious current has a profound influence on the climate, food systems and Antarctic ecosystems. Can we stop it weakening by 2050?
