Scientists extracted a 5.3 million-year record of the Antarctic Circumpolar Current by drilling sediment cores in the Earth’s most remote waters. Here, the drill ship JOIDES Resolution makes its way ...

The Antarctic Circumpolar Current plays an important part in global overturning circulation, the exchange of heat and CO2 between the ocean and atmosphere, and the stability of Antarctica’s ice sheets ...

New research reveals how the speed of ocean currents and the shape of the seabed influence the amount of heat flowing underneath Antarctic ice shelves, contributing to melting. Scientists at the ...

Researchers using the ECCO model can study Agulhas Current flow as it sends warm, salty water from the tropics in the Indian ...

An ancient, hidden mountain range has been discovered above a hotspot lying amongst the strongest ocean current on Earth. The discovery was made by researchers on board a voyage in the Southern Ocean, ...

Due to global warming, a deep ocean current around Antarctica that has been relatively stable for thousands of years could head for "collapse" over the next few decades. Such a sudden shift could ...

Stephen has degrees in science (Physics major) and arts (English Literature and the History and Philosophy of Science), as well as a Graduate Diploma in Science Communication. Stephen has degrees in ...

An alarming study made headlines by saying global weather could be thrown into chaos by an Atlantic current’s collapse. Now, scientists are urging restraint. An enormous ocean current that warms some ...

Renewable energy potential is not distributed evenly. Japan, for example, has sub-par solar potential and nowhere near the wind potential of Western Europe or the United States. It's also currently ...
