Using advanced computer simulations, researchers from the University of Rhode Island's Graduate School of Oceanography (GSO) ...

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 ...

The ocean surrounding Japan is changing at a rate that baffles experts, with consequences affecting local fishing and culture ...

A conveyor belt of ocean water that loops the planet and regulates global temperatures could be heading for a tipping point.

The Atlantic meridional overturning circulation, commonly referred to as the "AMOC," is a system of ocean currents confined to the Atlantic basin that plays a crucial role in regulating Earth's ...

While we can’t usually observe coastal currents from the shoreline, water in the oceans of the world is in constant motion.

During the last ice age, the Atlantic Ocean’s powerful current system remained active and continued to transport warm, salty water from the tropics to the North Atlantic despite extensive ice cover ...

Scientists have uncovered how changing ocean currents in South Georgia's fjords could affect the survival of young mackerel icefish. The species is a key component of the island's rich marine ...

Ocean surface currents are a fundamental component of the global climate system, governing the transport of heat, nutrients and pollutants, as well as influencing marine ecosystems and weather ...
