During the last ice age, the Atlantic Ocean's powerful current system remained active and continued to transport warm, salty ...

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

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

Oceanographers have been able to document the movement of ocean waters to indicate things like currents, weather, and more. Oceanographers document ocean currents, which include long, permanent ...

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 ...

A system of Atlantic Ocean currents crucial for regulating the world's weather and ecosystems might be more resilient against climate change than previously thought, a new study found. Researchers ...

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 ...

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