Without warm currents from the South Atlantic, Iceland would be much icier and stormier. Now, those currents are at risk of ...

Melting polar ice is unleashing stronger, faster currents, reshaping heat flow, nutrient pathways, and microplastic movement ...

The Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC) gets disrupted because of the increased thawing of Arctic ice.

When polar ice sheets melt, the effects ripple across the world. The melting ice raises average global sea level, alters ...

Greenland’s melt is expected to slow the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation, but research suggests a collapse of the West Antarctic ice sheet could in some cases prevent it from shutting down ...

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 world’s largest and most powerful ocean current may grow even stronger as the planet warms, scientists say. And that could make Antarctica’s ice melt even faster. In fact, there’s evidence that’s ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...
