Just below Greenland is a menacing stretch of water known as the Cold Blob. As the planet heats up, the Cold Blob remains a ...

An AMOC collapse would usher in global weather and climate shifts — including plunging temperatures in Europe, which relies ...

If the Gulf Stream weakens, Europe will become the odd one out on a warming planet. It will warm less than other regions, or ...

A vital system of Atlantic Ocean currents that influences weather ... In the decades after a collapse, Arctic ice would start creeping south, and after 100 years, would extend all the way down ...

A vital ocean current ... to the North Atlantic is weakening faster than previously thought, according to models that simulate the impact of meltwater from the Greenland ice sheet.

A subpolar species associated with Atlantic water expanded far into the Arctic Ocean during the Last Interglacial ... parts of the modern Arctic ice pack. In these cores, they investigated ...

They include ice melt that could cause severe sea-level rise and the collapse of a crucial ocean current that governs how heat cycles in the Atlantic Ocean. Venezuela lost its final glacier this year.

In the movie “The Day After Tomorrow,” the Atlantic Ocean’s main current system is disrupted and sets off a chain of disastrous events from monster storms to an Ice Age across the northern ...

That’s because it’s a sign that something may be wrong with the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation. The AMOC is the main current system that crisscrosses the ocean. It flows like a ...

Known as A23a, the 1,400-square-mile iceberg had been stuck on the ocean floor near Antarctica for 37 years after splitting in 1986 from the Antarctic’s Filchner Ice Shelf. But it began to ...

Analysis of the new record showed that at the end of each of the last four ice ages, ocean heat content generally increased alongside a weaker AMOC, as predicted by the models. These transitions ...

“It is very likely that in the future, the Arctic Ocean is going to be another Atlantic or Pacific. There’s debate, but some Earth system models predict that over the next several decades, there will ...
