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

During the last ice age, the Atlantic Ocean's powerful current system remained active and continued to transport warm, salty ...

A new study sheds light on the vital role that the mixing of Atlantic and Arctic waters plays in sustaining the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC), which is crucial for regulating ...

Researcher Léon Chafik aboard an oceanographic expedition at the Greenland–Scotland Ridge, with a CTD rosette in the background used to measure temperature, salinity, and other water properties ...

A new study finds that the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC) is unlikely to collapse this century, even with high levels of freshwater from the melting of the Greenland ice sheet. The ...

When it comes to tipping points, one of the greatest worries is the status of what is known as the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation, or AMOC—a key player in making the northern part of ...

A new study suggests the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation has not weakened since the 1960s — but there's no doubt the circulation will slow in the future, experts say. When you purchase ...

The ocean is continuously ventilated when surface waters sink and transport, for example, oxygen and carbon to greater depths ...
