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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

Artificial upwelling is a form of geoengineering that aims to use pipes and pumps to channel cool, nutrient-rich water from the deep ocean to the surface. In doing so, it could fertilize surface ...

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 ...

Scientists have spotted something dramatically unusual in the ocean, and it could be a warning sign of things to come. Warm air dances with cold air; cold water chases warm water. It's all a part of a ...
