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 climate change and growing electricity demand spark the search for new renewable energy, researchers have been recently ...

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, ...

The ocean is essentially our planet's climate control system, a massive engine that never stops working. For thousands of years, this intricate network of currents has maintained Earth's weather ...

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 ...

The major currents of the world are the arteries of life in our oceans. Understanding how these currents and eddies evolve and transform can greatly increase your chances of success when venturing ...

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, ...

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 ...

Global warming caused vital Atlantic Ocean currents to collapse just before the last ice age, a new study suggests. The weakening currents triggered a cascade of effects, resulting in a dramatic ...

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 ...

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 ...

Ming Feng receives funding from CSIRO, the Integrated Marine Observing System (IMOS), Western Australia State Government, and Fisheries Research and Development Corporation On land, we’re familiar ...
