Research shows that the largest ocean current in the world may be starting to shift, which will have a dramatic impact on 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 ...

Mars may be around 140 million miles away from Earth, but the red planet is influencing our deep oceans by helping drive “giant whirlpools,” according to new research. Scientists analyzed sediments, ...

Ocean currents determine the structure of the deep-sea ocean floor and the transport of sediments, organic carbon, nutrients and pollutants. In flume-tank experiments, researchers have simulated how ...

A new study from the University of Manchester and the United Kingdom's National Oceanography Centre has uncovered a hidden transport system for microplastics. Deep-sea "avalanches," or turbidity ...

Despite the sea appearing to be a calm and uneventful natural feature, the depths of the ocean were not an alien ecosystem. A recent study indicates the connection between nature and the processes ...

Warming seas and shifting currents are disrupting fisheries, ecosystems and centuries-old food traditions across Japan’s ...

However, in the mid-90s, the AMOC strength started to decline and the current began to move slower. Scientists attribute the change to the continued warming of the ocean’s surface and the accompanying ...

A mostly sunny day with a cool breeze will be very tempting to go to the beach, but be careful on the north coast of Puerto ...

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 ...
