The Great Southern Australian Coastal Upwelling System is an upward current of water over vast distances along Australia's southern coast. It brings nutrients from deeper waters to the surface. This ...

For the first time ever recorded, the yearly rise of cold water in the Gulf of Panama simply didn't happen in 2025. A new ...

Looking to support or prove long-held hypotheses on a little-known but important ocean activity, researchers from UC San Diego’s Scripps Institution of Oceanography in La Jolla led an international ...

It’s not just ocean heat that’s affecting marine life – new research shows extremely cold events are welling up and causing mass mortalities. And the same planet-warming pollution that’s driving the ...

Every year, upwelling brings cold, nutrient-rich waters from the ocean's depths to the surface, replacing the warmer, nutrient-depleted water. This typically occurs during January to April, when the ...

A north-northeast wind has pushed the warmer surface water along the Michigan shore back toward the middle of Lake Michigan and brought up colder water from well beneath the surface. This process is ...

Lake Superior has the largest surface area of any freshwater lake in the world. Because of its immense size, it takes a long time for the temperature to respond to the changing seasons. The lake’s ...

Exactly how the turbulent mixing of ocean water relates to global overturning circulation has been little understood by oceanographers, but an international research team, including an Earth system ...

Western Boundary Currents (WBCs) play a critical role in regulating the global climate, carrying large amounts of heat north from tropical waters. While there have been many studies conducted on the ...

The failure of a vital ocean upwelling has sparked concerns of catastrophic effects for life, according to scientists. Every year, between December and April, northerly winds create a rising current ...
