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

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

Scientists have uncovered how changing ocean currents in South Georgia's fjords could affect the survival of young mackerel ...

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

Earth’s oceans are perhaps the most beautiful and awe-inspiring natural areas on the planet, but they also hold some of the ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

(AP) - An abrupt shutdown of Atlantic Ocean currents that could put large parts of Europe in a deep freeze is looking a bit more likely and closer than before as a new complex computer simulation ...

A warming climate doesn't just affect dry land — it affects the ocean, too. For many years, Earth's ocean has acted as a heat sink for climate change: A large part of the heat generated by human use ...

Ocean currents driven by wind, water density, tides, ocean floor features, or the Coriolis effect, have an important role on climate regulation and marine ecology. In turn, increasing water surface ...
