Scientists have developed a powerful new way to trace the journey of water across the planet by reading tiny atomic clues hidden inside it. Slightly heavier versions of hydrogen and oxygen, called ...

The ocean is a vital part of our planet's climate system. Through its global circulation patterns, the ocean draws vast quantities of our planet's heat and carbon dioxide out of the atmosphere. It's ...

When we put together our seasonal forecasts, we generally look at 2 data sets. The first is our local weather history, what’s happened in our past. The second is changes in global circulation patterns ...

A new paper in Oxford Open Climate Change, published by Oxford University Press, indicates that extensive bleaching and deaths are widespread at several major coral reefs around the world. This ...

Scientists can now follow the path of a single drop of water across the globe. Water is made of hydrogen and oxygen, and some of these atoms naturally ...

A study has found that salinity levels in parts of the southern Indian Ocean have declined by nearly 30% over the past 60 years.

Using geochemical analyses of marine sediments, researchers have been able to quantitatively reconstruct the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation over the past 12,000 years. An international ...
