The ocean surrounding Japan is changing at a rate that baffles experts, with consequences affecting local fishing and culture ...

During the last ice age, the Atlantic Ocean's powerful current system remained active and continued to transport warm, salty ...

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 ...

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 conveyor belt of ocean water that loops the planet and regulates global temperatures could be heading for a tipping point.

Ocean currents driven by wind, water density, tides, ocean floor features, or the Coriolis effect, have an important role on climate regulation and marine ecology. In turn, increasing water surface ...

While we can’t usually observe coastal currents from the shoreline, water in the oceans of the world is in constant motion.

Accurate measurements of surface currents are crucial for coastal monitoring, rip current detection, and predicting the path of pollutants. Several methods exist to measure surface currents, some of ...

A 2025 research paper showed that a major ocean current in the Southern Hemisphere reversed directions for the first time in recorded history. Rating: False (About this rating?) Context: The paper ...
