To create accurate climate models, scientists need to understand how long conditions persist in the ocean. A new study led by scientists from the University of Liverpool analyzed the “memory” of the ...

Scientists are pushing into some of Earth's harshest environments to understand a phenomenon that could reshape global ...

This marks the first time researchers have tested multiple climate scenarios to see how Europe's summer precipitation might ...

Scientists may have to rethink the relationship between the ocean's circulation and its long-term capacity to store carbon, new research suggests. As the ocean gets weaker, it could release more ...

A new study has investigated how future changes in weather patterns could affect the tropical Pacific Ocean and its ecosystems. The research, based on complex computer models, has shown that these ...

Icebergs that break off from Greenland's glaciers carry enormous amounts of fresh water that can affect Atlantic currents. Hubert Neufeld via Unsplash , CC BY-SA When people think about the risks of ...

Among the many reasons why we ought to cut climate-warming greenhouse gas emissions as quickly and sharply as possible, the weakening of a system of ocean currents known as the Atlantic Meridional ...

The Last Glacial Period was characterised by dramatic shifts in climate and ocean circulation that have deeply influenced global carbon cycles and climate variability. Evidence from sediment cores, ...

The report stresses that cross-border research, Indigenous-led monitoring, and sustained environmental observations are ...
