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 ...

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, ...

The Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC) regulates the large-scale circulation of the Atlantic Ocean and influences the global climate, but a recent report from researchers at Utrecht ...

The ocean is vital to all of humanity. Besides generating revenue through industries like fishing and shipping, it also plays a crucial role in regulating climate and weather patterns. Now, experts ...

The nightmare scenario of Atlantic Ocean currents collapsing, with weather running amok and putting Europe in a deep freeze, looks unlikely this century, a new study concludes. In recent years, ...

NASA's advanced seafloor mapping technology has revealed what is hidden beneath Earth's oceans. The findings offer an insight into how underwater navigation can be improved. The data comes from the ...

UC Riverside researchers mapped out global ocean currents' impact on Arctic warming - and have a sliver of hope.

An analysis of clam shells suggests the North Atlantic subpolar gyre has had two periods of destabilization over the past 150 years: one around 1920 and the other from 1950 through present.

The Atlantic Ocean currents are slowing down, according to a new study led by a University of Maryland researcher. Specifically, the study found the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC) ...

There was nothing outwardly impressive about the clam sitting on the deck of the research vessel Bjarni Saemundsson. The dull, gray creature, dredged from the muddy bottom of the North Atlantic, was ...
