As sea ice vanishes, polar ocean currents are stirring faster - reshaping heat, carbon, and nutrient flow across the Arctic and Antarctic.

A study published in Nature Climate Change by an international team of scientists from the IBS Center for Climate Physics ...

Scientists using NASA and other satellite data discovered an unusual long-lasting, whirlpool-like ocean eddy that generated a dramatic increase in the marine food supply off the Hawaiian coast in 1999 ...

Eddy-mean energy exchange plays an essential role in ocean circulation and climate variability. This study decomposed the eddy-mean kinetic energy exchange into three parts, and linked them with ...

Ocean dynamics encompass the complex interactions that govern the movement of water masses across the globe. At the heart of these processes are mesoscale eddies – coherent, swirling features spanning ...

New research has uncovered surprising insights into the relationship between atmospheric winds and ocean eddies, reshaping previous assumptions about how they interact. Contrary to earlier beliefs ...

A warming climate doesn't just affect dry land — it affects the ocean, too. For many years, Earth's ocean has acted as a heat sink for climate change: A large part of the heat generated by human use ...

For years, climate experts have been sounding the alarm about the worsening impacts of global warming, and a report made by a European news wire agency over the weekend heightened the concerns in an ...

In a milestone for ocean governance and conservation, the High Seas Treaty has cleared the final hurdle to become international law, which for the first time provides a legal pathway towards ...
