As global electricity demand grows, traditional energy sources are under strain. Oceans, which cover more than 70% of Earth's ...

Historically, the ocean has been difficult to model. Scientists struggled in years past to simulate ocean currents or accurately predict fluctuations in temperature, salinity, and other properties. As ...

A new study has used 30 years of data to find areas with the highest potential for generating energy from ocean currents ...

Antarctica's remote and mysterious current has a profound influence on the climate, food systems and Antarctic ecosystems. Can we stop it weakening by 2050? Flowing clockwise around Antarctica ...

Unlike better known ocean currents – such as the Gulf Stream along the United States East Coast, the Kuroshio Current near Japan, and the Agulhas Current off the coast of South Africa – the Antarctic ...

The slowdown of the Antarctic Circumpolar Current could have 'dire' consequences, including greater climate variability and ...

The Great Atlantic Sargassum Belt has puzzled researchers since 2011. A new model demonstrates that the alga was brought to the tropics by strong currents, and thrived in ideal growing conditions.

Turbidity currents are an important natural process that often goes unnoticed: these powerful currents beneath the ocean surface carve ... off the west coast of Africa -- one of the largest ...
