Scientists have discovered that melting Antarctic ice once disrupted Earth’s global ocean conveyor belt. During past deglaciations, massive meltwater flows strengthened stratification in the Southern ...

Scientists have developed a powerful new way to trace the journey of water across the planet by reading tiny atomic clues hidden inside it. Slightly heavier versions of hydrogen and oxygen, called ...

Ice-sheet melt temporarily intensified Southern Ocean stratification between ice ages and warmer interglacial periods, thus slowing global ocean circulation as a team lead by the Max Planck Institute ...

In 1956, Frank Lloyd Wright designed The Illinois — intended to be the world’s first mile-high skyscraper. Stretching to 528 ...

The South China Sea Throughflow (SCSTF) serves as a critical oceanic conveyor belt for heat and freshwater, mediating water ...

A closer look at Earth’s history shows that melting ice sheets temporarily increased stratification in the Southern Ocean.

A huge stretch of the Southern Indian Ocean is rapidly losing its salt, and scientists warn this subtle shift could quietly disrupt global ocean currents and marine life in unexpected ways.

A new study shows that during the last two deglaciations, i.e., the transition from an ice age to the warm interglacial periods, meltwater from the Antarctic ice sheet intensified stratification in ...

Utrecht climate researchers are involved in two major projects funded by Horizon Europe’s climate programme. Among the contributors are assistant professor Lu Zhou and professor Henk Dijkstra from the ...

One of the ocean's saltiest regions has become 30 per cent less salty - sparking fears the Gulf Stream could be inching closer to a catastrophic collapse.
