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 ...

Warming seas and shifting currents are disrupting fisheries, ecosystems and centuries-old food traditions across Japan’s ...

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 ...

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

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, ...

Chunks of ice break off from the Greenland ice sheet in 2017, creating a swarm of icebergs in a fjord. (David Goldman / Associated Press) Scientists are sounding the alarm that a crucial component of ...

The Antarctic Circumpolar Current (ACC), the strongest ocean current on Earth, is rapidly weakening due to the accelerating ...

Mars' distant orbit may have more of an impact on our planet than we first thought. The interaction between Earth and Mars's gravitational influences may be linked to a 2.4-million-year cycle of ocean ...

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 ...

Scientists are sounding the alarm that a crucial component of the planet’s climate system is in gradual decline and could one day reach a tipping point that would radically alter global weather ...
