The Atlantic Ocean may begin to shrink, said a new study published in the journal Geology. Oceans are not necessarily a permanent fixture on Earth, as they are able to appear and close due to the ...

The ocean current known as the Atlantic meridional overturning circulation (Amoc), which gives Ireland a benign climate, may be able to withstand future global warming and avoid collapse this ...

A major motor for the global climate is beginning to falter: a massive system of ocean currents called the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC), which also includes the Gulf Stream.

The Atlantic is the second largest ocean on the planet. It is the resting place of the Titanic, home to the mysterious Bermuda Triangle and is the youngest of the Earth's great oceans. It reaches ...

A group of sea turtles in Florida was released into the Atlantic Ocean this week after almost a month rehabbing from "cold stunning." The condition causes the creatures to lose mobility and ...
