Western Boundary Currents (WBCs) play a critical role in regulating the global climate, carrying large amounts of heat north from tropical waters. While there have been many studies conducted on the ...

The failure of a vital ocean upwelling has sparked concerns of catastrophic effects for life, according to scientists. Every year, between December and April, northerly winds create a rising current ...

Upwelling and downwelling play an important role in transporting the heat, carbon, and nutrients that affect Earth's climate. Many studies have focused on these vertical motions in the ocean, ...

The Great Southern Australian Coastal Upwelling System is an upward current of water over vast distances along Australia's southern coast. It brings nutrients from deeper waters to the surface. This ...

A subtle shift in coastal winds sets off a chain reaction that pulls cold, nutrient-rich water up from the ocean floor and ...

It’s not just ocean heat that’s affecting marine life – new research shows extremely cold events are welling up and causing mass mortalities. And the same planet-warming pollution that’s driving the ...

Meandering ocean currents play an important role in the melting of Antarctic ice shelves, threatening a significant rise in sea levels. Meandering ocean currents play an important role in the melting ...

Researchers have combined satellite measurements with underwater robot profiles to map vertical ocean currents plunging more than half a mile deep in the waters surrounding Antarctica, revealing ...

Upwellings of cold water from the deep sea to the surface can be deadly for marine animals and such events are increasing in frequency due to climate change. In March 2021, hundreds of fish and ...
