Arctic sea ice has thinned significantly over the ... The engine running the conveyor belt is the density-driven thermohaline circulation ("thermo" for heat and "haline" for salt).

Rising Sea Levels When you think about the ice melting in Greenland and Antarctica, you're really looking at the biggest reason our sea levels are rising. It's pretty surprising, but these icy places ...

A study gives possible insight into the underprediction of sea ice depletion and the formation of Arctic cyclones. The study could lead to more accurate weather and climate models and better ...

Melting sea ice hardly affects global sea level ... and forced anthropogenic changes (e.g. a weakening of the Atlantic thermohaline circulation as found in most models in response to global ...

Could ocean currents ensure that global warming continues even after we have reached carbon-neutrality?  One of the concepts ...

Remarkable here is the homogeneity of these bottom layers, which are often more than 1000m thick and topped with thermohaline ... circulation appears to be related to the circulation of the sea ...

The world’s ice is melting. At the present rate ... and density of the oceans which may alter oceanic circulation patterns, such as the thermohaline circulation. Because the ocean and atmosphere ...

The rapid melting and thinning of the Arctic ice has sparked serious concerns in the scientific community. In addition, sea ...

A new study led by Mohamed Ezat from the iC3 Polar Research Hub has revealed alarming implications of Arctic sea ice melt on ...

The ocean melts ice shelves from below—a process known as "basal melting." Increased basal melting has led to the thinning and retreat of the ice sheet in some regions, raising global sea levels .

According to a peer-reviewed British Antarctic Survey report released late last week, the melting of sea ice might have caused the death of some 10,000 Emperor penguin chicks by the end of 2022.
