Hydrothermal activity detected for the first time in the underwater volcano between Tenerife and Gran Canaria. Experts issue warning.

Global warming is usually associated with rising temperatures, but some scientists have explored whether it could indirectly trigger cooling in certain regions. Changes in ocean circulation, ...

Shifts in the Gulf Stream could help researchers predict the human-driven failure of a huge system of ocean currents known as the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation.

Scientists are closely watching a massive ocean circulation system that helps regulate the planet’s climate. This global current moves heat around the Earth and absorbs large amounts of carbon dioxide ...

Millions of unknown microbial genes discovered in Antarctica’s ocean reveal a hidden ecosystem that may influence carbon cycling and climate.

Forest to coast. Coast to reef. Reef to ocean. Ocean back to land. It is the chain of life in motion, each link depending on ...

In the study, researchers compared two such parameterizations: one developed by Fox-Kemper in 2011 and another developed in 2023 by co-author Abigail Bodner ScM’20 PhD’21, assistant professor of Earth ...

USF faculty said the projects will help strengthen workforce development, expand research infrastructure and improve regional resilience.

Changes in the Gulf Stream, a strong ocean current in the Atlantic, could serve as an early warning of the imminent collapse of the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC). The AMOC is a ...

Models show that as the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation gets weaker, the Gulf Stream will drift northwards. There ...

A widely used method to calculate sea level rise may have missed up to a century of change, so the risks could hit home for millions sooner than thought.
