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 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 ...

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 ...

For centuries, scientists have known that oceans move and swirl, shifting water across the planet. But recent breakthroughs are revealing that some of the smallest currents are surprisingly powerful ...

A new species of Portuguese man o' war has been discovered floating in the waters of northeast Japan. Spotted by a ...

Episode 3 of this series on COP30 in Brazil looks at AMOC, an ocean current in the Atlantic. It transports warm water to the ...

Ocean currents driven by wind, water density, tides, ocean floor features, or the Coriolis effect, have an important role on climate regulation and marine ecology. In turn, increasing water surface ...

Just below Greenland is a menacing stretch of water known as the Cold Blob. As the planet heats up, the Cold Blob remains a spooky outlier — positioned right above the area where the Atlantic Ocean’s ...

Fort Lauderdale Ocean Rescue said the conditions aren't safe for most swimmers this weekend, attributing the rough current to ...
