Melting polar ice is unleashing stronger, faster currents, reshaping heat flow, nutrient pathways, and microplastic movement ...

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

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 ...

The Ocean's Global Heat Distribution System One of the most important functions of the ocean is to move heat around the ...

Images snapped from space show the spectacular patterns formed by sea ice floating on the ocean currents The pictures, taken by the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) on NASA's ...

Iceland declares Atlantic Ocean current collapse a national security threat as scientists warn it could trigger a modern-day ...

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.

Without warm currents from the South Atlantic, Iceland would be much icier and stormier. Now, those currents are at risk of ...

Due to global warming, a deep ocean current around Antarctica that has been relatively stable for thousands of years could head for "collapse" over the next few decades. Such a sudden shift could ...
