In December 2024, satellites captured an extraordinary phenomenon in the heart of the ocean—waves that soared to nearly 66 feet high. This event, which unfolded during Storm Eddie, shattered records ...

Wave-induced mixing represents a critical process within the upper ocean, where the interplay of surface wave mechanics drives vertical transport of mass, energy and momentum. The resulting turbulence ...

Tsunami means “harbor wave” in Japanese, but they differ from other waves that are generated by the wind or solar system. Tsunami waves move the entire depth of the ocean, down to the floor, which is ...

Researchers from Australia’s University of Queensland have made a microscopic “ocean” on a silicon chip to miniaturise the study of wave dynamics. The device, made at UQ’s School of Mathematics and ...
