Surface currents are relatively easy to measure and track. But those in the deep ocean are mostly a mystery. Now, a new study published in Nature Geoscience unveiled the biggest data set to date ...

This deep ocean current has remained in a relatively stable state for thousands of years, but with increasing greenhouse gas emissions, Antarctic overturning is predicted to slow down ...

Ocean science has come a long way since then ... There’s also a potential impact on food security, because these deep currents move the nutrients that have drifted to the bottom of the oceans ...

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 ...

A new study gives alarming glimpse into the future, as some scientists warn these currents could be just decades from ...

Here’s how it works. Deep ocean currents around Antarctica that are vital to marine life have slowed by 30% since the 1990s and could soon grind to a complete halt, a new study finds.

NASA’s SWOT satellite reveals how small ocean features move heat and nutrients, reshaping climate and circulation models.

The authors describe these currents, or eddies, as “giant whirlpools” that can reach the bottom of the deep ocean, eroding the seafloor and causing large accumulations of sediments ...

The findings suggest that current simulations used to track the flow of sediment and pollutants in the deep sea and reconstruct ancient ocean conditions need an update. "These conveyor belts of ...
