In recent years, a major ocean current changed its path in two crucial ways. Now parts of the sea are rising, other parts are falling, ocean temperatures are breaking records — and Japan’s iconic ...

New research reveals how ocean warming triggered the large-scale retreat of the Northeast Greenland Ice Stream ...

Scientists fear warming is driving a collapse in the ocean currents that shape climate far and wide. The ice-choked waters ...

New research reveals how the speed of ocean currents and the shape of the seabed influence the amount of heat flowing ...

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 ...

And it’s truly black.” A hidden artery running through East Asia, the Kuro­shio has shaped life along its path for millennia.

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 ...

A new study published this month has highlighted the growing dangers of changes in ocean currents. According to this new research, weaker circulation in the ocean currents could actually enhance the ...

Satellites offer a frequent overview of our entire planet – covered mostly by water – and provide valuable data to monitor and understand global ocean circulation. Understanding water currents at the ...

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 ...
