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

Emerging scientific research suggests a grim reality where the Atlantic Ocean’s formidable currents may collapse within the next few decades. This potential collapse, fuelled by the relentless ...

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

The warming hole might be a sign that Atlantic Ocean currents are slowing down. This network of currents regulates Earth's climate, moving heat from the tropics to the Northern Hemisphere. The ...

An ocean current called the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation will weaken by 50 percent by 2100. The question is ...

The state of “current” affairs is not good. An Atlantic current that’s key for maintaining the climate could collapse sooner than we thought, potentially bringing about a global weather apocalypse, ...

The critical system of ocean currents which loops around the Atlantic Ocean is weakening and could be far closer to collapse than previously thought, according to two new studies — an event which ...

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 ...

Straits of Florida — At 2 a.m., oceanographer Ryan Smith was headed into his 12th hour of work with little sleep when trouble started. From the rear deck of the University of Miami’s research boat, he ...
