In a new study, researchers reenacted how people in Taiwan might have reached the Ryukyu Islands tens of thousands of years ...

Researchers recreated a 30,000-year-old ocean journey from Taiwan to Japan using canoes and simulations to test early human ...

Additionally, ocean currents vary by season, influencing when energy production is highest. For example, the U.S. East Coast sees stronger currents in warmer months , aligning well with increased ...

Learn how ocean currents and warm-core eddies drive big-game sport fisheries worldwide. Discover how real-time satellite data, ... nations including Taiwan and Japan have long-established fisheries ...

Japanese researchers turned to “experimental archaeology” to study how ancient humans navigated powerful ocean currents and migrated offshore. By Franz Lidz In 1947, against the best ...

Historically, the ocean has been difficult to model. Scientists struggled in years past to simulate ocean currents or ...

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 ...

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 ...

Ocean currents here reach power densities above 2,500 watts per square meter, making them 2.5 times stronger than top wind energy sites. The relatively shallow water—about 300 meters deep ...
