How can open ocean currents generate energy? Ocean currents contain kinetic energy that can be converted to electrical power using turbines. This is similar to offshore wind farms, or wind turbines ...

The ocean is essentially our planet's climate control system, a massive engine that never stops working. For thousands of years, this intricate network of currents has maintained Earth's weather ...

A beach day is a rite of passage during the summer months. While it’s wonderful to lie out in the sun with a cold beverage and a new book, or cool off in the ocean, beaches come with some surprising ...

New research reveals how ocean warming triggered the large-scale retreat of the Northeast Greenland Ice Stream ...

However, in the mid-90s, the AMOC strength started to decline and the current began to move slower. Scientists attribute the change to the continued warming of the ocean’s surface and the accompanying ...

As global electricity use grows, the strain on traditional energy sources increases. Renewable options like wind and solar have become popular, yet there's a massive, largely untapped resource beneath ...

A new study published this month has highlighted the growing dangers of changes in ocean currents. According to this new research, weaker circulation in the ocean currents could actually enhance the ...

An abrupt shutdown of Atlantic Ocean currents that could put large parts of Europe in a deep freeze is looking a bit more likely and closer than before as a new complex computer simulation finds a ...

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.

If you haven’t heard of it before, you’re about to become intimately familiar with the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation. This system of currents—which brings water up the Atlantic from the ...
