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 world’s largest and most powerful ocean current may grow even stronger as the planet warms, scientists say. And that could make Antarctica’s ice melt even faster. In fact, there’s evidence that’s ...

Climate change is warming Europe, but scientists are also studying whether a weakened Atlantic current could make Britain colder, with Laurie Laybourne, director of the Strategic Climate Risks ...

A powerful milestone for our shared ocean is about to be achieved,” writes columnist. “The United Nations’ High Seas Treaty will go into effect on Jan. 17 after two ...

In order to understand currents, tides and other ocean dynamics, scientists need to accurately capture sea surface height, or ...

A new study published this month has highlighted the growing dangers of changes in ocean currents. According to this new research, weaker circulation in the ocean currents could actually enhance the ...

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 ...

Satellites offer a frequent overview of our entire planet – covered mostly by water – and provide valuable data to monitor and understand global ocean circulation. Understanding water currents at the ...

Due to global warming, a deep ocean current around Antarctica that has been relatively stable for thousands of years could head for "collapse" over the next few decades. Such a sudden shift could ...
