The Hadley Circulation (HC) plays a crucial role in distributing heat and moisture around the planet. Over recent decades, surface warming has caused the HC to expand poleward, expanding subtropical ...

Far below the ocean’s surface, a hidden circulation system quietly shapes life on Earth. Dense “deep ocean water” formed in ...

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 ...

BOISE, Idaho — Scientists across the Pacific Northwest are wrapping up summer research on the status of local glaciers – some of which are melting at record speed and impacting the region. Melting ...

A groundbreaking study in the journal Science, has unveiled how deep ocean currents—known as global overturning circulation—play a pivotal role in shaping the diversity and function of microbial life ...

As the last Ice Age waned and the Holocene dawned, deep-ocean circulation around Antarctica underwent dramatic shifts that helped release long-stored carbon back into the atmosphere. Deep-sea ...

A new scientific atlas has just redrawn the map of Antarctica’s seafloor—and what it reveals could alter how researchers model sea-level rise, ocean circulation, and the continent’s past. The study, ...
