Scientists use satellite data to find ocean zones where trash naturally gathers for easier, faster, and cleaner clean-up.

Between Hawaii and California, trash swirls in giant ocean currents, caught up in the infamous, Texas-sized Great Pacific ...

Ocean currents respond to changes in temperature, salt levels, wind patterns and sea ice extent. So the global ocean conveyor belt is vulnerable to climate change on multiple fronts. Previous ...

Global warming is having an impact on Atlantic Ocean currents that could lead to significant shifts in weather patterns in ...

Until now, a global evaluation of ocean current energy with actual data was lacking. Using 30 years of NOAA's Global Drifter ...

The Greenland ice sheet makes up 80 percent of the world’s largest island. And, it’s melting thanks to human-caused climate ...

The emergence of new heat and density patterns in the Southern Ocean to some degree reflects changes documented in and near the Arctic Ocean, where disturbances in other ocean currents threaten ...

Climate models predict that even under extreme warming, the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation will weaken but not collapse entirely – although this could still have serious impacts ...

Part of the system that pumps water, heat and nutrients around the globe is at risk. Climate change could slow the Antarctic ...

The Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation likely won't completely collapse with global warming, but any weakening could ...

The Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation, or AMOC, a massive system of ocean currents, helps regulate global weather patterns by transporting warm water north and cold water south.

Antarctica's remote and mysterious current has a profound influence on the climate, food systems and Antarctic ecosystems. Can we stop it weakening by 2050?
