Antarctic Ice Melt Weakens Strongest Ocean Current, Disrupting Global Circulation
The Antarctic Circumpolar Current, the planet’s most powerful ocean circulation system, could slow by 20 percent by 2050 due to melting Antarctic ice. Researchers suggest that the influx of fresh, cold water is disrupting convection, altering global ocean density. A weaker current may allow warm water to reach Antarctica, accelerating ice loss an...

Asteroid 2024 YR4 Has a Small but Notable Chance of Earth Impact in 2032
NASA scientists are closely monitoring asteroid 2024 YR4, a newly discovered 55-metre-wide object with a 1.2% chance of impacting Earth on December 22, 2032. If it collides, it could release energy equivalent to eight megatons of TNT, enough to cause serious regional damage. Currently ranked as a Level 3 threat on the Torino Scale, its classificati...

Indian Ocean Study Reveals Bay of Bengal Defies Ekman’s Wind-Driven Current Theory
A study published in Science Advances has discovered that ocean currents in the Bay of Bengal deviate leftward, contrary to Ekman’s century-old theory. This anomaly, revealed through multi-year buoy data, suggests local factors influence wind-driven surface currents. Researchers highlight implications for climate models and propose a satellite sy...

A Nearby Supernova May End Dark Matter Search, Claims New Study
A supernova within the Milky Way could revolutionise dark matter research by producing gamma rays from axions, elusive particles theorised to exist during a star's core collapse. Scientists at UC Berkeley are calling for gamma-ray telescopes to monitor the sky, ensuring readiness for the next nearby supernova. Such an event could confirm the axion'...

Irminger Sea’s Crucial Role in Atlantic Ocean Current Collapse Identified
A new study highlights the vital role of the Irminger Sea in the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC). Increasing meltwater from the Arctic is weakening this critical ocean current, which regulates global climate. The research suggests that disruptions in the Irminger Sea could cause widespread climate shifts, including cooling in the...

New Study Reveals Weaker Atlantic Current Could Mitigate Arctic Warming
Recent research from UC Riverside reveals that a weakening Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC) could limit Arctic temperature increases by up to 2 degrees Celsius by the end of the century. While this slowdown may offer some relief, ongoing threats to Arctic wildlife and potential global weather disruptions remain a serious concern. ...
