Cracking, creaking ice at the bottom of the world is quietly shaping the future climate you live in. New research from ...

Bottom a) temperature (°C) and c) salinity (psu) from the observational climatological mean on the continental shelf over 1975–2012 based on ref. 72 and in the abyss over 1955–2017 based on the World ...

Arctic sea ice on July 19, 2022 as captured on a NASA Gulfstream V plane. Sea ice could extend as far south as the UK if a crucial system of ocean currents collapses, a new study has found. - Kerem ...

The Sargasso Sea is the only sea without any coastlines, and it is located entirely within the Atlantic Ocean. It is the only ...

Investments supported by the Gulf Research Program (GRP) of the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine are transforming our knowledge of the Loop Current, the dominant physical ...

Over the last decade, Earth's oceans have been warming at unprecedented rates, yet one mysterious blob of water, just south of Greenland, has defied this trend. It has stubbornly remained colder than ...
