El Niño is a recurring climate pattern characterized by warmer than usual ocean temperatures in the equatorial Pacific. Two back-to-back 3-D visualizations track the changes in ocean temperatures and currents, respectively, ...
A new study published in Scientific Reports provides novel insight into how species' distributions change from the interaction between climate change and ocean currents.
A new analysis of decades of data on oceans across the globe has revealed that the amount of dissolved oxygen contained in the water - an important measure of ocean health - has been declining for more than 20 years.
Rip currents are found along most coastlines, and where they form near popular beaches they can be deadly. The journalist Decca Aitkenhead has written movingly about how quickly life can change after her husband was swept ...
Europe will be spared the worst economic impacts of climate change by a slowing down of the Gulf Stream, new research predicts.
The waters surrounding Antarctica may be one of the last places to experience human-driven climate change. New research from the University of Washington and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology finds that ocean currents ...
A 14-year-old Florida girl's science project caught the eye of President Obama during the White House Science Fair.
Radioactive isotopes typically take four years to reach the Norwegian coast from Sellafield on the north-eastern coast of England. Researchers like Yongqi Gao follow the radioactive waste to understand how ocean currents ...
Can ocean currents be replicated in a laboratory? The answer is yes, according to researchers at the Bjerknes Centre in Bergen and the University of Stavanger (UiS). They have constructed a 4.5 m high loop of plastic pipes, ...
Shifts in trade winds and ocean currents powered a resurgence of endangered Galápagos penguins over the past 30 years, according to a new study. These changes enlarged a cold pool of water the penguins rely on for food and ...
