The Indonesian Throughflow carries both warm water and fresh water from the Pacific into the Indian Ocean. As the only ...

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 ...

Ocean microbes keep the planet healthy by cycling nutrients and capturing carbon, but a detailed and precise map of where ...

Shutterstock The ocean is filled with different currents, which keep the water cycling around the world. These currents don’t just move the water, however. They are also responsible for moving heat ...

Converting the vibrations generated by water currents in contact with an object into energy. This is the basis of the new ...

The Atlantic meridional overturning circulation (AMOC) is a system of ocean currents that transports warm water from the tropics northwards into the North Atlantic. In recent years it has emerged that ...

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 ...

Human-induced climate change is causing shifts in the world's largest ocean current and westerly wind systems also seen during periods of ice age and warmer intervals in Earth's history, researchers ...

A team of NASA and university scientists has developed a new way to use satellite measurements to track changes in Atlantic Ocean currents, which are a driving force in global climate. The finding ...

Climate change is warming Europe, but scientists are also studying whether a weakened Atlantic current could make Britain ...

The oceans play an important role in the earth’s climate; they transport heat from equator to pole, provide moisture for rain, and absorb carbon dioxide from the atmosphere. Ocean models, such as this ...
