San Antonio — Oct. 23, 2007 — Space physicists have long assumed that the magnetosphere at Jupiter circulates that planet’s magnetic field in the same way as Earth. At Earth, this circulation drives ...

A researcher has defied the long-standing convention by applying equations from magnetohydrodynamics to our oceans' salt water (which conducts electricity) and found that the long-term changes in the ...

Scientists have used the geological record of the deep sea to discover a connection between the orbits of Earth and Mars, past global warming patterns and the speeding up of deep ocean circulation.

The salt levels of oceans on distant Earth-like planets could have a major effect on their climates. London: The salt levels of oceans on distant Earth-like planets could have a major effect on their ...

How will climate change influence the ocean’s circulation in the future? This is what a recent study published in Nature Communications hopes to address as a researcher from Massachusetts Institute of ...

Researchers are exploring the idea that one hemisphere of Earth, dominated by the Pacific Ocean, is losing internal heat faster than the continental s ...

Fig. 1: A map of Earth showing the global cloud cover on July 11, 2005, based largely on observations by the MODIS sensor on the NASA Terra satellite. The interaction between atmospheric circulation ...

The flow of thick ice over a Snowball Earth ocean (“sea glaciers”, characterized by dynamics very different from that of thinner sea ice 14), has received significant attention over the past few years ...

The existence of water in deep Earth is considered to play an important role in geodynamics, because water drastically changes the physical properties of mantle rock, such as melting temperature, ...

Scientists show that heat flow at the core-mantle boundary varies depending on the structure of the overlying mantle The inner-core of Earth is simultaneously melting and freezing due to circulation ...

What happens when the ocean doesn’t circulate as it should? Though you might not realize it, the natural circulation of the ocean, particularly the Atlantic Ocean, is extremely important in regulating ...
