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 ...

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

A recent study reveals our warming world is triggering shifts in winds and ocean currents, which is likely contributing to an increase in harmful carbon pollution. An international team of scientists, ...

There's an underwater conveyor belt flowing through the Atlantic that keeps Europe warm and regulates climate across the ...

A little background: What’s so special about the Galápagos? There is far more than one could learn in a lifetime about geology, ecology, biology, and evolution from the Galápagos Archipelago, and part ...

The Florida current, which is the beginning of the Gulfstream, is a key component of the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC), a three-dimensional system of ocean currents that act as a ...

Melting ice sheets are slowing the Antarctic Circumpolar Current (ACC), the world’s strongest ocean current, researchers have found. This melting has implications for global climate indicators, ...
