Sentinel-6B continues three decades of global ocean height measurements, tracking sea level changes, ocean currents, and climate-related trends for scientific research and operational forecasting.

Humanity is running out of time to keep the climate system in a state that resembles the one in which modern societies developed. A former NASA scientist who helped alert the world to global warming ...

Scientists are pushing into some of Earth's harshest environments to understand a phenomenon that could reshape global ...

Ocean water expands as it warms, researchers said. Climate change was a major driver to an unexpected level of sea level rise in 2024, according to a new NASA analysis. Global sea levels rose 0.23 ...

Researchers created a detailed physical model that suggests a major Atlantic Ocean current will weaken far less under climate change than indicated by more extreme climate model projections. The ...

Ocean currents driven by wind, water density, tides, ocean floor features, or the Coriolis effect, have an important role on climate regulation and marine ecology. In turn, increasing water surface ...

Getting your Trinity Audio player ready... A sprawling, slow-moving system of ocean currents circulating in the Atlantic that help regulate the earth’s temperature is set to deliver a blob of warmer, ...

In 2023, the world’s oceans experienced the most intense and widespread marine heatwaves ever recorded, with some events persisting for over 500 days and covering nearly the entire globe. These ...

Global sea levels continue to rise around the world, threatening freshwater resources. Credit: Gregory Rec/Portland Press Herald via Getty Images Global sea levels rose faster than expected last year, ...

In this first glimpse of the "Sea Camp" series from NPR's Short Wave podcast, hear how climate change will significantly shift three-quarters of the ocean's surface currents by the end of the century.

The Atlantic meridional overturning circulation, commonly referred to as the “AMOC,” is a system of ocean currents confined to the Atlantic basin that plays a crucial role in regulating Earth’s ...
