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

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 ...

For centuries, scientists have known that oceans move and swirl, shifting water across the planet. But recent breakthroughs are revealing that some of the smallest currents are surprisingly powerful ...

Ocean overturning allows nutrients to rise up from the bottom, with the Southern Ocean supporting about three-quarters of global phytoplankton production, the base of the food chain. Courtesy of Dr.

The Antarctic Circumpolar Current plays an important part in global overturning circulation, the exchange of heat and CO2 between the ocean and atmosphere, and the stability of Antarctica’s ice sheets ...

Comprehending the workings of western boundary ocean currents, like those of the Agulhas Current off the South African coast, may hold a key to Earth’s climate system. But understanding this ...
