The weakening of the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation could alter weather and ecosystems throughout the world.

Scientists have uncovered strong evidence that a major Atlantic Ocean current system tied to global climate is weakening. The ...

The Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC) is a large-scale and delicate system of ocean currents, responsible for our warm climate.

It may sound counterintuitive, but new research suggests that cleaning up air pollution could contribute to a weakening of ...

New research provides alarming evidence this ocean circulation is slowing and could be heading toward a shutdown, which would have catastrophic impacts on the planet’s weather and climate.

Some of the rainiest places on Earth could see their annual precipitation nearly halved if climate change continues to alter the way ocean water moves around the globe. In a new CU Boulder-led study ...

A scheme of the upper-layer circulation of the North Atlantic Ocean. Red=warm currents, blue=cold currents. White boxes 1 to 5 indicate five different areas of analysis where temperature, salinity, ...

The potential collapse of a key Atlantic ocean current − due to human-caused climate change − is in the news again. You'd be hard-pressed to come up with a scarier scenario than what's going on now ...

Scientists say finding is ‘very concerning’ as collapse would be catastrophic for Europe, Africa and the Americas The critical Atlantic current system appears significantly more likely to collapse ...
