A recent study reveals our warming world is triggering shifts in winds and ocean currents, which is likely contributing to an increase in harmful carbon pollution. An international team of scientists, ...

A warming climate doesn't just affect dry land — it affects the ocean, too. For many years, Earth's ocean has acted as a heat sink for climate change: A large part of the heat generated by human use ...

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 ...

Migration is one of nature's best strategies for survival. Countless species depend on precise timing to align their journey with food availability, breeding options, and perfect weather to raise ...

And it is time now for our science news roundup from Short Wave, NPR's science podcast. And I am joined by the show's two hosts, Regina Barber and Emily Kwong. Hey there. REGINA BARBER, BYLINE: Hey.

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 ...

Until now, a global evaluation of ocean current energy with actual data was lacking. Using 30 years of NOAA's Global Drifter Program data, a study shows that ocean currents off Florida's East Coast ...
