The last ice age did not shut down Atlantic ocean currents, and that discovery may help explain future climate risks.

From space, the oceans look calm and simple — just endless blue. But when scientists zoom in with modern tools, that calm ...

The ocean is essentially our planet's climate control system, a massive engine that never stops working. For thousands of years, this intricate network of currents has maintained Earth's weather ...

One of the most important functions of the ocean is to move heat around the planet via currents. Think of the ocean as Earth's central heating system, constantly redistributing thermal energy from the ...

During the last ice age, the Atlantic Ocean’s powerful current system remained active and continued to transport warm, salty water from the tropics to the North Atlantic despite extensive ice cover ...

Ocean currents driven by wind, water density, tides, ocean floor features, or the Coriolis effect, have an important role on climate regulation and marine ecology. In turn, increasing water surface ...

A strange radioactive 'blip' has been detected deep beneath the Pacific Ocean. The beryllium-10 blip was detected in the seabeds of the Central and the Northern Pacific, but the authors behind the ...

You are taught early in science that oxygen on Earth comes from sunlight. Plants, algae, and cyanobacteria use light to split water and release oxygen, shaping the atmosphere and making complex life ...

Scientists descend nearly 11,000 meters into the Pacific to investigate reports of oxygen production without sunlight on the ...

During the last ice age, the Atlantic Ocean's powerful current system remained active and continued to transport warm, salty water from the tropics to the North Atlantic despite extensive ice cover ...
