An ocean current called the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation will weaken by 50 percent by 2100. The question is ...

The weakening of the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation could alter weather and ecosystems throughout the world.

The potential collapse of a key Atlantic ocean current − due to human-caused climate change − is in the news again. You'd be hard-pressed to come up with a scarier scenario than what's going on now ...

New research provides alarming evidence this ocean circulation is slowing and could be heading toward a shutdown, which would have catastrophic impacts on the planet’s weather and climate.

Scientists have uncovered strong evidence that a major Atlantic Ocean current system tied to global climate is weakening. The ...

It may sound counterintuitive, but new research suggests that cleaning up air pollution could contribute to a weakening of ...

The Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC) is a large-scale and delicate system of ocean currents, responsible for our warm climate.

New research reveals how the speed of ocean currents and the shape of the seabed influence the amount of heat flowing underneath Antarctic ice shelves, contributing to melting. Scientists at the ...

The world’s ocean is constantly moving. Ocean currents (movement of water from one location to another) are easier to see closer to shore, but currents are found from the ocean's surface down to the ...

Measurements by buoys at four latitudes in the western Atlantic provide the strongest evidence yet that the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation is weakening ...
