A little background: What’s so special about the Galápagos? There is far more than one could learn in a lifetime about geology, ecology, biology, and evolution from the Galápagos Archipelago, and part ...

Ocean microbes keep the planet healthy by cycling nutrients and capturing carbon, but a detailed and precise map of where ...

A recent study reveals our warming world is triggering shifts in winds and ocean currents, which is likely contributing to an increase in harmful carbon pollution. An international team of scientists, ...

Shutterstock The ocean is filled with different currents, which keep the water cycling around the world. These currents don’t ...

Melting ice sheets are slowing the Antarctic Circumpolar Current (ACC), the world’s strongest ocean current, researchers have found. This melting has implications for global climate indicators, ...

Five times stronger than the Gulf Stream and 100 times larger than the Amazon River, the Antarctic Circumpolar Current (ACC) is by far the world's largest ocean current. But this key system is ...

The strongest ocean current on Earth circles Antarctica. It’s the primary way water moves between the Atlantic, Pacific and Indian oceans, and helps regulate the global climate. But a new study ...

As global electricity use grows, the strain on traditional energy sources increases. Renewable options like wind and solar have become popular, yet there's a massive, largely untapped resource beneath ...

A mesmerizing new visualization of ocean currents has been compared to the art of Van Gogh. NASA’s 'Perpetual Ocean 2' video uses the space agency's ocean model, Estimating the Circulation and Climate ...

Researchers created a detailed physical model that suggests a major Atlantic Ocean current will weaken far less under climate change than indicated by more extreme climate model projections. The ...
