A conveyor belt of ocean water that loops the planet and regulates global temperatures could be heading for a tipping point.

Melting ice sheets are slowing the world’s strongest ocean current, researchers said Monday. An influx of fresh water from the melting sheets is changing the properties of the ocean and its ...

Melting ice sheets are slowing the Antarctic Circumpolar Current (ACC), the world's strongest ocean current, researchers have ...

A sprawling, slow-moving system of ocean currents circulating in the Atlantic that help regulate the earth’s temperature is set to deliver a blob of warmer, saltier water off the U.S. coast, according ...

During the last ice age, the Atlantic Ocean’s powerful current system remained active and continued to transport warm, salty water from the tropics to the North Atlantic despite extensive ice cover ...

A little background: What’s so special about the Galápagos? There is far more than one could learn in a lifetime about geology, ecology, biology, and evolution from the Galápagos Archipelago, and part ...
