The potential collapse of a key Atlantic ocean current − due to human-caused climate change − is in the news again. You'd be hard-pressed to come up with a scarier scenario than what's going on now ...

On the Thursday, April 23, 2026, episode of The Excerpt podcast: A large-scale and delicate system of ocean currents that has been active for millions of years and that’s responsible for our warm ...

A new AI-driven method called GOFLOW is turning weather satellite images into highly detailed maps of ocean currents. By tracking how temperature patterns shift over time, it can reveal fast-moving, ...

The critical system of ocean currents that loops around the Atlantic Ocean is weakening. According to two new studies, that system could be far closer to collapse than previously thought. Climate ...

The collapse of a critical ocean current system—an event that would upend Earth’s climate and wreak havoc on the Americas, Europe, and Africa—has been the subject of heated scientific debate for more ...

The critical system of ocean currents which loops around the Atlantic Ocean is weakening and could be far closer to collapse than previously thought, according to two new studies — an event which ...

The shifting patterns of ocean currents shape our climate and weather. Even today, understanding how ocean currents behave is challenging. But researchers have developed an AI tool that can map ...

The Gulf Stream is full of interleaving temperature gradient structures that hint at complex underlying current dynamics. GOES-East satellite observations and machine learning have, for the first time ...

Scientists have developed a new method to measure ocean surface currents over large areas in greater detail than ever before. Called GOFLOW (Geostationary Ocean Flow), the approach applies deep ...

Buoy measurements show the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation, which moderates Europe’s climate, is weakening at four different latitudes, the strongest evidence so far that this system of ...

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 ...
