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

When most of us look out at the ocean, we see a mostly flat blue surface stretching to the horizon. It’s easy to imagine the ...

A new study challenges theories regarding the origins of a significant transition through the Earth's ice ages. The research provides fresh insights into the ocean's role in climate during the ...

The Last Glacial Period was characterised by dramatic shifts in climate and ocean circulation that have deeply influenced global carbon cycles and climate variability. Evidence from sediment cores, ...

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 ...
