New research reveals a powerful yet overlooked driver of climate change: intensifying ocean eddies. These swirling ...

A colossal ocean current encircling Antarctica—stronger than all the world’s rivers combined—played a far more complex role in shaping Earth’s climate than scientists once thought. New research shows ...

Scientists reveal that Antarctica’s ocean current formed slowly and needed winds, ice, and shifting continents to shape Earth’s climate.

A vast ocean current encircling Antarctica—more powerful than all the world’s rivers combined—played a surprisingly complex role in shaping Earth’s climate.

It transports far more than 100 times as much water as all of the Earth's rivers combined: The Antarctic Circumpolar Current ...

Scientists have developed a new method to measure ocean surface currents over large areas in greater detail than ever before.

(Alfred Wegener Institute/Hanna Knahl, Patrick Scholz) New simulations show that the world's strongest ocean current didn't ...

The Sargasso Sea is the only sea on Earth without a coastline, defined by ocean currents instead of land. Located in the Atlantic Ocean, it is filled with floating seaweed and rich marine life. This ...

A subpolar gyre is a large-scale ocean current system located at high latitudes created by a persistent region of low atmospheric pressure. These gyres circulate water in a cyclonic direction – ...

Rising temperatures in the North Atlantic are slowing vital currents, but a new process in the Arctic could save the day, scientists say. When you purchase through links on our site, we may earn an ...

Sometimes, the best thing for a penguin is to go with the flow. Magellanic penguins change their strategy for navigating home based on the strength of ocean currents, researchers report July 17 in ...
