Scientists are sounding the alarm, as a critical Atlantic Ocean current is under existential threat. The result, if things take a turn for the worse? A new ice age. Sounds extreme, hysterical. But the ...

During the last ice age, the Atlantic Ocean's powerful current system remained active and continued to transport warm, salty ...

Scientists have long suspected that high salinity levels in the deep ocean were responsible for keeping carbon dioxide locked ...

The last ice age did not shut down Atlantic ocean currents, and that discovery may help explain future climate risks.

During all ice ages in Earth’s history, global temperatures dropped well below freezing across the planet. And it wasn’t just a few icy trips around the Sun. Earth can take hundreds of millions of ...

When the planet was heating up at the end of the last Ice Age, ice-melt flooded out by glaciers made oceans rise. Scientists for decades believed that most meltwater had originated from Antarctica.

The story of how the last Ice Age ended is being rewritten from the bottom up, as new records etched into the sea floor reveal a far more dynamic and interconnected climate system than the traditional ...

Course description: Investigates major problems in the study and understanding of Quaternary climate variation, in seminar format. Each year one major topic will be addressed, such as: the physics and ...

During the last ice age, the Atlantic Ocean’s powerful current system remained active and continued to transport warm, salty water from the tropics to the North Atlantic despite extensive ice cover ...
