After sifting through ocean current data dating back three decades, researchers at the Florida Atlantic University (FAU) have ...

Scientists use satellite data to find ocean zones where trash naturally gathers for easier, faster, and cleaner clean-up.

Until now, a global evaluation of ocean current energy with actual data was lacking. Using 30 years of NOAA's Global Drifter Program data, a study shows that ocean currents off Florida's East Coast ...

As global electricity demand grows, traditional energy sources are under strain. Oceans, which cover more than 70% of Earth's ...

Between Hawaii and California, trash swirls in giant ocean currents, caught up in the infamous, Texas-sized Great Pacific Garbage Patch. This is just one of many found across the globe. Efforts to ...

The Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation likely won't completely collapse with global warming, but any weakening could ...

Part of the system that pumps water, heat and nutrients around the globe is at risk. Climate change could slow the Antarctic ...

Climate models predict that even under extreme warming, the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation will weaken but not collapse entirely – although this could still have serious impacts ...

The Great Atlantic Sargassum Belt has puzzled researchers since 2011. A recent study published in Nature Communications may have identified what drove a tipping point that established the phenomenon ...

Meteorologists warned of gale conditions and hazardous seas that could make boating dangerous. Beachgoers also were warned.

Ocean currents respond to changes in temperature, salt levels, wind patterns and sea ice extent. So the global ocean conveyor belt is vulnerable to climate change on multiple fronts. Previous ...
