Off the coast of Antarctica, trillions of tonnes of cold salty water sink to great depths. As the water sinks, it drives the deepest flows of the “overturning” circulation – a network of strong currents spanning the world’s oceans. The overturning circulation carries heat, carbon, oxygen and nutrients around the…

A landmark study projects dramatic changes in ocean circulation in the Southern Ocean over the next three decades, with wide-reaching impacts on weather and fishery populations.

A life-sustaining circulatory system for the deep ocean will quickly slow and may collapse entirely without emissions cuts this decade, Australian experts say.

Rapidly melting Antarctic ice is dramatically slowing down the flow of water through the world's oceans, and could have a disastrous impact on global climate, the marine food chain and even the stability of ice shelves, new research has found.

New research by Australian scientists suggests 40% slowdown in just three decades could alter world’s climate for centuries

A recent expedition in the "remote and hostile" waters of Antarctica is shedding more light on how signs of climate change will shape future generations of whales.
