A colossal ocean current encircling Antarctica—stronger than all the world’s rivers combined—played a far more complex role in shaping Earth’s climate than scientists once thought. New research shows ...

Scientists reveal that Antarctica’s ocean current formed slowly and needed winds, ice, and shifting continents to shape Earth’s climate.

Learn how the Antarctic Circumpolar Current formed during the Oligocene, as winds, shifting continents, and ocean gateways ...

As global electricity use grows, the strain on traditional energy sources increases. Renewable options like wind and solar have become popular, yet there's a massive, largely untapped resource beneath ...

Some newly published findings from an Idaho State University professor and his colleagues point out how changes to currents ...

Ocean currents driven by wind, water density, tides, ocean floor features, or the Coriolis effect, have an important role on climate regulation and marine ecology. In turn, increasing water surface ...
