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? Flowing clockwise around Antarctica, the ...

Hidden beneath the pristine white surface of Antarctica and Greenland lies an invisible crisis. While most people imagine ice melts from the top down when warmed by sun and air, the reality is far ...

The Circumpolar Current works as a regulator of the planet's climate. Its origins were thought to have caused the formation of the permanent ice in Antarctica about 34 million years ago. Now, a study ...

The Antarctic Circumpolar Current (ACC) is Earth's largest oceanic current, circling around Antarctica from west to east in alignment with Earth's rotation. This cold ocean current is driven primarily ...

The Antarctic Circumpolar Current plays an important part in global overturning circulation, the exchange of heat and CO2 between the ocean and atmosphere, and the stability of Antarctica’s ice sheets ...

New research challenges the origins of Earth's most dominant ocean current system. This disrupted the prevailing theory concerning the emergence of the Antarctic Circumpolar Current. A new study ...

Our planet's strongest ocean current, which circulates around Antarctica, plays a major role in determining the transport of heat, salt and nutrients in the ocean. An international research team led ...

Due to the earth's rotation, stars generally appear to rise in the east and set in the west. <div class="section1"><div class="Normal">Due to the earth''s rotation ...
