Under the lead of the Leibniz Institute for Baltic Sea Research Warnemünde (IOW), a sediment core from the Southeast Pacific ...

Beneath Antarctica's vast expanse of ice sit hundreds of canyons, some up to tens of thousands of feet deep. These complex ...

As climate change advances, the ocean’s overturning circulation is predicted to weaken substantially. With such a slowdown, scientists estimate the ocean will pull down less carbon dioxide from the ...

Antarctica's biological systems are also undergoing sudden shifts. Ecosystems both under the sea and on land are being ...

How will climate change influence the ocean’s circulation in the future? This is what a recent study published in Nature Communications hopes to address as a researcher from Massachusetts Institute of ...

Icebergs that break off from Greenland's glaciers carry enormous amounts of fresh water that can affect Atlantic currents. Hubert Neufeld via Unsplash , CC BY-SA When people think about the risks of ...

In May of this year, satellites captured a staggering view from space: 37.5 million metric tons of floating brown seaweed ...

Course description: A yearly investigation, in seminar format, of major problems in the study and understanding of Quaternary climate variation. Each year one or two major topics will be addressed, ...

The Last Glacial Period was characterised by dramatic shifts in climate and ocean circulation that have deeply influenced global carbon cycles and climate variability. Evidence from sediment cores, ...

Colossal changes to ocean circulation have caused the waters of the North Atlantic to become significantly saltier in the past 50 years when compared to the world's other great ocean, the Pacific. The ...

COLUMBIA, Mo. -Even though the Cretaceous Period ended more than 65 million years ago, clues remain about how the ocean water circulated at that time. Measuring a chemical tracer in samples of ancient ...

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 ...
