Cycles in the growth and decay of Antarctica's ice sheets once shaped marine biological productivity thousands of miles away ...

A research team developed a satellite-based method to analyze the life cycle of ocean eddies forming along Arctic sea-ice edges. By combining sequential synthetic aperture radar (SAR) images with ...

Since 2016, Antarctic sea ice extent has been declining sharply – now scientists are piecing together how strong winds and ...

One of the ocean currents in the Arctic Ocean is at risk of disappearing this century because of climate change, according to a new joint study from the University of Gothenburg and the German Alfred ...

Ocean currents in the Bay of Bengal were seen turning left of the wind, revealing limits in Ekman’s century-old circulation theory.

Something strange is happening beneath the surface of the world's oceans, and scientists are paying close attention. Currents that have kept global temperatures relatively stable for thousands of ...

The global ocean “conveyor belt” circulation, shown in part here as red and blue lines, circulates cooler seawater below the surface and warmer seawater at the surface throughout the world’s oceans.

For more than a century, a patch of cold water south of Greenland has resisted the Atlantic Ocean's overall warming, fueling debate among scientists. A new study identifies the cause as the long-term ...
