Without warm currents from the South Atlantic, Iceland would be much icier and stormier. Now, those currents are at risk of ...

Iceland has designated the potential collapse of a major Atlantic Ocean current system a national security concern and an ...

Iceland declares Atlantic Ocean current collapse a national security threat as scientists warn it could trigger a modern-day ...

As sea ice vanishes, polar ocean currents are stirring faster - reshaping heat, carbon, and nutrient flow across the Arctic and Antarctic.

Greenland’s melt is expected to slow the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation, but research suggests a collapse of the ...

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

WASHINGTON — The nightmare scenario of Atlantic Ocean currents collapsing, with weather running amok and putting Europe in a deep freeze, looks unlikely this century, a new study concludes. It's the ...

An Atlantic current is at risk of collapse, which would plunge the UK and Europe into extreme cold. Scientists are urging governments to take action before it’s too late, with some governments already ...

A warming climate doesn't just affect dry land — it affects the ocean, too. For many years, Earth's ocean has acted as a heat sink for climate change: A large part of the heat generated by human use ...

How can open ocean currents generate energy? Ocean currents contain kinetic energy that can be converted to electrical power using turbines. This is similar to offshore wind farms, or wind turbines ...

Melting sea ice in polar regions is transforming how the oceans move and mix. In a recent study, researchers used a ...

New research from the University of St Andrews has found that some coastal areas will become much more acidic than previously anticipated. With added atmospheric CO2, these areas are acidifying more ...
