New evidence shows a major climate shift ‘within a lifetime’ 13,000 years ago.

What the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC) does and how it shapes our climate.
An important ocean circulation system is slowing down faster than expected.
Sea spray content in a stalagmite sheds light on how ocean currents in the Gulf Stream have changed in the past.
New finding adds uncertainty to projections of how the climate will change in future.
If the ocean circulation, known as AMOC, shuts down, it would be a climate disaster, particularly for Europe and North America. New research shows why that might not happen as soon as some fear.
If proven correct, the Danish scientists’ scenario could mean the end of life in Europe as we know it.
Recent headlines around the supposed impending collapse of the Atlantic currents remind us of the importance of avoiding sensationalism in facing global warming.
Climate change is causing the deep waters in parts of the St. Lawrence River to lose their oxygen, and it’s damaging the health of the ecosystem.
With La Niña helping clear the way for a busy hurricane season, this wide current of warm water could spell disaster for the northern Gulf Coast.
How we showed the Atlantic circulation system is its weakest for 1,600 years.
The Agulhas Current plays a critical role in global ocean circulation that influences climatic conditions across the world.
The Agulhas Current is important to South Africa for a variety of reasons. Studying how it impacts the coast has been difficult using traditional methods. But gliders are changing that.
Loss of sea ice near Greenland and Iceland portend a colder future for Europe.
A few months ago I was invited to a small gathering organised by executives from a large international airline (one you most certainly have heard of). About a dozen of us were there and the mix was varied…
