The southern Indian Ocean off the west coast of Australia is becoming less salty at an astonishing rate, largely due to ...

Thermohaline circulation, the large-scale movement of surface water through the world’s ocean basins, in latitudes near the poles is sensitive to temperature but even more so to salinity, so the ...

Climate change is rapidly freshening one of Earth’s saltiest ocean regions in the Southern Indian Ocean, potentially disrupting circulation.

The oceans are mostly composed of warm salty water near the surface over cold, less salty water in the ocean depths. These two regions don't mix except in certain special areas, which creates a large ...

With that mouthful of a title, our friends at MyReadingMapped have again created a very interesting map for us to check out. In their words: If you do an image search for the Thermohaline circulation, ...

Earth's history is replete with wide-ranging climate changes. Analysis of ice core data from Greenland and Antarctica provide evidence that global temperatures have oscillated no fewer than 20 times ...

Absent any climate policy, scientists have found a 70 percent chance of shutting down the thermohaline circulation in the North Atlantic Ocean over the next 200 years, with a 45 percent probability of ...

Important ocean currents that redistribute heat, cold and precipitation between the tropics and the northernmost parts of the Atlantic region will shut down around the year 2060 if current greenhouse ...

If you follow the latitude lines from much of Europe westward across the Atlantic, you tend to run into Canada. Even if you go to the southern tip of Spain, you’re not much further south than the ...
