Without warm currents from the South Atlantic, Iceland would be much icier and stormier. Now, those currents are at risk of collapse and the country is preparing for this “existential threat.” ...

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 ...

Melting polar ice is unleashing stronger, faster currents, reshaping heat flow, nutrient pathways, and microplastic movement ...

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 ...

Oceans all over the world rely on a delicate balance of different elements to remain stable. Temperature, salinity, pH, and pressure all combine to create the complex bodies of water that maintain ...

Between Hawaii and California, trash swirls in giant ocean currents, caught up in the infamous, Texas-sized Great Pacific Garbage Patch. This is just one of many found across the globe. Efforts to ...

The Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC) gets disrupted because of the increased thawing of Arctic ice.

The ocean currents in the Atlantic are headed toward a total shut down, a new study shows. If that happens, less heat is exchanged across the globe and Europe could go into a deep freeze. Northwestern ...

(AP) - 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 ...

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 ...

Mars may be around 140 million miles away from Earth, but the red planet is influencing our deep oceans by helping drive “giant whirlpools,” according to new research. Scientists analyzed sediments, ...

Oxygen, carbon dioxide and ocean acidification in the Chesapeake Bay and Delaware Bay to be discussed at Ocean Currents Lecture The University of Delaware will kick off its 2023 Ocean Currents lecture ...
