The northern Barents Sea region has experienced rapid warming and increased advection of warm Atlantic water in recent decades resulting in winter sea ice loss larger than in any other part of the ...

Learn how ocean currents and warm-core eddies drive big-game sport fisheries worldwide. Discover how real-time satellite data, bathymetric features, and boundary currents shape ideal conditions for ...

The so-called A23a iceberg, the world's largest, has run aground in South Georgia after almost 40 years at sea, threatening important penguin colonies.

Antarctica's Filchner-Ronne Ice Shelf may be under threat due to relatively warm water from the deep sea flowing towards the shelf. Is climate change to blame?

Iceberg A-23A’s long entrapment in the Weddell Sea followed by its capture and eventual escape from a Taylor column vortex illustrates the erratic paths icebergs can take due to ocean currents and ...

The colossal iceberg known as A23a has been slowly spinning in one spot of the Southern Ocean since April. Here’s what experts have to say on the phenomenon.

The water column variability during both years was dominated by the Kuroshio Current flowing from southwest to northeast over the continental slope. The barotropic tide was a mixed diurnal/semidiurnal ...

The warmer water was not carried on the surface of the ocean but deep in the water column. This warmer water may have reached the ice shelf where it is grounded on the sea floor.

For the first time, this study identifies the spatiotemporal variability signatures for different modes of ocean-driven melting at the base of NIS. In February (austral summer), basal melting ...
