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 ...

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 ...

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, ...

In recent years, a major ocean current changed its path in two crucial ways. Now parts of the sea are rising, other parts are falling, ocean temperatures are breaking records — and Japan’s iconic ...

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

You never know what’s going to happen while at sea. We hadn’t even left port from Tauranga, New Zealand yet and had already changed plans at least twice due to extreme winds and rain associated with ...

A research team led by scientists at Kumamoto University has discovered a new genus of microscopic crustaceans from northern ...

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 ...

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 ...

The oceans absorb more than 90% of all extra heat trapped by the emissions we’ve produced by burning fossil fuels. This heat is enormous. It’s as if we exploded an atom bomb underwater, every second ...
