New research reveals a powerful yet overlooked driver of climate change: intensifying ocean eddies. These swirling currents—that break off from major currents—are redistributing heat and nutrients in ...

Scientists are turning to artificial intelligence to unearth new insights on ocean currents from weather satellite images. CNET reported on a study from University of California San Diego that trained ...

A rare ocean pattern is developing as El Niño strengthens in the Pacific. Here’s how the two climate signals could influence ...

Scientists have developed a new method to measure ocean surface currents over large areas in greater detail than ever before. Called GOFLOW (Geostationary Ocean Flow), the approach applies deep ...

Researchers have combined satellite measurements with underwater robot profiles to map vertical ocean currents plunging more than half a mile deep in the waters surrounding Antarctica, revealing ...

The shifting patterns of ocean currents shape our climate and weather. Even today, understanding how ocean currents behave is challenging. But researchers have developed an AI tool that can map ...

A new study analyzing chemical traces in the growth rings of clam shells reinforces growing concerns about the stability of a key North Atlantic Ocean current that helps keep the global climate ...

Scientists have developed a new method to measure ocean surface currents over large areas in greater detail than ever before. Called GOFLOW (Geostationary Ocean Flow), the approach applies deep ...

Although it can be hard to tell from looking at the often placid waters of the Earth’s oceans, their currents carry immense amounts of water around the globe on a daily basis, underlying a dynamic ...

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 ...
