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

Climate change’s rising seas may threaten tens of millions more people than scientists and government planners originally thought because of mistaken research assumptions on how high coastal waters al ...

Adjusting to a more accurate coastal height baseline means that if seas rise by a little more than 3 feet — as some studies ...

Researchers at Utrecht University report that, in high-resolution ocean simulations, an abrupt northward shift of the Gulf Stream near Cape Hatteras precedes a modeled collapse of the Atlantic ...

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.

The weather phenomenon known as El Niño could form later this year, potentially pushing global temperatures to record heights, researchers say.

The warming El Niño weather phenomenon could form later this year, potentially pushing global temperatures to record heights.

New geological data indicate that marine life is somewhat resilient to warming in the tropics. Chris Fokkema, Earth scientist at Utrecht University, discovered that tropical algae were largely ...

Ocean temperatures may be quietly protecting the world from a global drought catastrophe. By analyzing more than a century of climate data, researchers discovered that droughts rarely spread across ...

The rate of global warming has surged since 2015 and is now nearly double what it was in the 1970s, according to a study 1 ...
