Scientists discovered that in the distant past, growing inflows of freshwater from melting Arctic sea-ice into the Nordic Seas likely significantly affected ocean circulation, sending temperatures ...

The concept of thermohaline circulation might sound like a complex term from a science textbook, but it plays a crucial role in our planet’s climate system. Sometimes referred to as the ...

Enhanced melting of sea-ice can significantly change ocean circulation, causing lower temperatures across northern Europe, a new study warns. The above video clip was filmed by the Barents ...

Melting ice in the Antarctic is not just raising sea levels but slowing down the circulation of deep ocean water with vast implications for the global climate and for marine life, a new study ...

Arctic sea ice has thinned significantly over the ... The engine running the conveyor belt is the density-driven thermohaline circulation ("thermo" for heat and "haline" for salt).

Sea ice is frozen ocean water that has an annual cycle of melting during the summer and ... the planet’s temperature by influencing the circulation of the atmosphere. Recent studies have said ...
