Climate change is warming Europe, but scientists are also studying whether a weakened Atlantic current could make Britain colder, with Laurie Laybourne, director of the Strategic Climate Risks ...

A couple billion years ago the ocean was the cradle of life. Throughout the ages it's been the gateway to riches, exploration and colonization. Now it holds the answers to the climate and ultimately ...

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

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 ...

In recent decades, mangroves along the Atlantic coast of North America have expanded into areas traditionally dominated by ...

RASCOE: And while most of us like to sit by the ocean, NPR's Short Wave podcast is diving in, with this story from producer Hannah Chinn on how the ocean and the atmosphere affect each other.

A crucial ocean-current system seems unlikely to collapse even in the face of severe climate change ― despite predictions that it would disintegrate if Earth continues to warm. That’s the ...

Sentinel-6B continues three decades of global ocean height measurements, tracking sea level changes, ocean currents, and climate-related trends for scientific research and operational forecasting.

How can open ocean currents generate energy? Ocean currents contain kinetic energy that can be converted to electrical power using turbines. This is similar to offshore wind farms, or wind turbines ...

Research shows microplastics interfere with ocean carbon cycles, posing risks to climate and ecosystems. Urgent global action ...
