Rising temperatures in the North Atlantic are slowing vital currents, but a new process in the Arctic could save the day, scientists say.

The Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC), a system of Atlantic Ocean currents that redistributes heat and nutrients between the tropics and the North Atlantic, is one of the planet's ...

The anomaly, located just south of Greenland, is — perhaps counterintuitively — called the North Atlantic Warming Hole, and ...

A series of ocean currents in the Atlantic drive heat northward and control much of the world’s weather. Scientists believe the current — called the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation, or ...

As the planet warms, it risks crossing catastrophic tipping points: thresholds where Earth systems, such as ice sheets and rainforests, change irreversibly over human lifetimes. Melting ice sheets in ...
