Researchers identify ‘tipping point’ that caused Sargassum inundations in the Caribbean
The Great Atlantic Sargassum Belt has puzzled researchers since 2011. A new model demonstrates that the alga was brought to the tropics by strong currents, and thrived in ideal growing conditions.

The world's strongest ocean current should be getting faster – instead, it is at risk of failing
Ocean currents respond to changes in temperature, salt levels, wind patterns and sea ice extent. So the global ocean conveyor belt is vulnerable to climate change on multiple fronts. Previous ...

'Surprising' cause of sargassum blooms in Caribbean
Researchers identified a strong negative North Atlantic Oscillation in 2009--2010 as the tipping point that pushed sargassum into the tropical Atlantic, confirming vertical mixing, not rivers, as the ...
Critical ocean circulation won’t entirely collapse because of climate crisis - but it’s still in trouble
Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation, a key engine of world’s weather patterns, is under threat of dangerous weakening ...

Melting Antarctic ice sheets are slowing Earth’s strongest ocean current: ‘There could be severe consequences’
Freshwater is less dense than saltwater, interrupting the natural sinking of the denser water that helps to power ocean currents. Also driven by temperature and wind, ocean currents help to ...
