Antarctica's remote and mysterious current has a profound influence on the climate, food systems and Antarctic ecosystems. Can we stop it weakening by 2050?

So it's a far more accurate way to assess how the current's strength and behaviour will change as the world warms. It picks up the intricate interactions between ice melting and ocean circulation.

After sifting through ocean current data dating back three decades, researchers at the Florida Atlantic University (FAU) have ...

Part of the system that pumps water, heat and nutrients around the globe is at risk. Climate change could slow the Antarctic ...

The world's strongest ocean current is slowing down and scientists are blaming it on the unchecked melting Antarctic ice sheet. The Antarctic Circumpolar Current (ACC), which flows across ...

A sequel to the popular first version from 2011, the new visualization now shows currents not just at the water's surface.

It flows clockwise around Antarctica and is the strongest ocean current on Earth: the Antarctic Circumpolar Current, ACC for short. Australian researchers now fear that this important flow could slow ...

The Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation likely won't completely collapse with global warming, but any weakening could ...
