Large-scale currents are the conveyor belts of the ocean, transporting water and nutrients and controlling Earth's climate. Surface currents are relatively easy to measure and track. But those in the ...

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. These currents, known as Antarctic ...

Bottom a) temperature (°C) and c) salinity (psu) from the observational climatological mean on the continental shelf over 1975–2012 based on ref. 72 and in the abyss over 1955–2017 based on the World ...

In the grand theater of the cosmos, where celestial bodies waltz to the timeless rhythms of gravity and motion, lies a story of Earth and Mars — a tale that intertwines the orbits of these neighboring ...

Fresh evidence from sediment cores, satellite records, and deep-ocean sensors is converging on a troubling finding: meltwater pouring off the Antarctic ice sheet may be reorganizing the planet’s ocean ...

A new study from the University of Manchester and the United Kingdom's National Oceanography Centre has uncovered a hidden transport system for microplastics. Deep-sea "avalanches," or turbidity ...

A new study has revealed how even the deepest seafloors are affected by the daily back-and-forth of the tides, and the change of the seasons, and that currents at the bottom of the ocean are far more ...

Stephen has degrees in science (Physics major) and arts (English Literature and the History and Philosophy of Science), as well as a Graduate Diploma in Science Communication. Stephen has degrees in ...

Antarctica sets the stage for the world’s greatest waterfall. The action takes place beneath the surface of the ocean. Here, trillions of tonnes of cold, dense, oxygen-rich water cascade off the ...
