During the last ice age, the Atlantic Ocean's powerful current system remained active and continued to transport warm, salty ...

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

Ocean currents driven by wind, water density, tides, ocean floor features, or the Coriolis effect, have an important role on climate regulation and marine ecology. In turn, increasing water surface ...

The warm waters of the Gulf Stream flow up along the east coast of North America, moderating the climate of vast areas of northern and western Europe. Once the Gulf Stream gets far enough north, the ...

Investments supported by the Gulf Research Program (GRP) of the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine are transforming our knowledge of the Loop Current, the dominant physical ...

Glaciers are melting at an alarming rate. As this cold fresh water from glacier melt enters lakes and oceans, it can have a big effect on how the water behaves — and on the fish, mammals, and other ...

Deep sea pressure reverse osmosis at 400 to 600 meters drives membrane filtration, cutting energy use more than 50 percent ...

During the last ice age, the Atlantic Ocean’s powerful current system remained active and continued to transport warm, salty water from the tropics to the North Atlantic despite extensive ice cover ...
