A new study has raised alarms about the potential collapse of the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC), a ...

Beneath the surface of the Southern Ocean, vast volumes of cold, dense water plunge off the Antarctic continental shelf, ...

The current, known as the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation, or AMOC, has drawn increasing scrutiny as climate change warms the planet because it plays such a sweeping role. Acting like ...

Figure shows how ocean currents changes with temperature. Top: Ocean currents today. Bottom: Ocean currents during glacial periods. Disclaimer: AAAS and EurekAlert! are not responsible for the ...

The real star of the show (sorry, Dennis Quaid) is an ocean current called the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC) that moves warm water from the equatorial tropics up to Europe and ...

A massive research project will investigate the role of icebergs in driving melting of the Greenland ice sheet, a process that could trigger a catastrophic collapse of the Atlantic meridional overturn ...

The record also showed evidence of millennial-scale changes in ocean heat content that occurred alongside changes in ocean circulation. When the AMOC strengthened, ocean heat content either ...
