A groundbreaking study in the journal Science, has unveiled how deep ocean currents—known as global overturning ...

Features on the ocean floor varied across the regions and were affected by surface activities, influencing the nature and ...

The collapse involves the deep overturning circulation in the South Atlantic — part of the global conveyor belt of ocean currents — which typically pulls cold, nutrient-rich water up from the ocean ...

The ocean is not a uniform soup of water. In explaining this concept, Bethany Kolody, Ph.D., first author on the paper, noted that “winds and storms only reach to about 500 meters (1,640 feet ...

A warming climate doesn't just affect dry land — it affects the ocean, too. For years, Earth's ocean has acted as a heat sink for climate change: A large part of the heat generated by human use of ...

With a collapse of this deep ocean current, the oceans below 4000 metres would stagnate. “This would trap nutrients in the deep ocean, reducing the nutrients available to support marine life ...

The reason this new study believes that the changes in the ocean current could actually cause more dredging of that deep ocean carbon is because of the overall balance between iron, carbon ...

Parts of the world could face a deep freeze if a crucial network of Atlantic Ocean currents collapses, according to a new study. (CNN/CNN Newsource) ...

In the Atlantic, currents at the ocean surface, such as the Gulf Stream, carry sun-warmed water from the tropics northeastward. As the water moves through colder regions, it sheds its heat.
