During the last ice age, the Atlantic Ocean's powerful current system remained active and continued to transport warm, salty ...

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 Indonesian Throughflow carries both warm water and fresh water from the Pacific into the Indian Ocean. As the only ...

Oceanographers have been able to document the movement of ocean waters to indicate things like currents, weather, and more. Oceanographers document ocean currents, which include long, permanent ...

Converting the vibrations generated by water currents in contact with an object into energy. This is the basis of the new ...

The Atlantic meridional overturning circulation (AMOC) is a system of ocean currents that transports warm water from the tropics northwards into the North Atlantic. In recent years it has emerged that ...

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 ...

Ocean microbes keep the planet healthy by cycling nutrients and capturing carbon, but a detailed and precise map of where ...

Human-induced climate change is causing shifts in the world's largest ocean current and westerly wind systems also seen during periods of ice age and warmer intervals in Earth's history, researchers ...

The oceans play an important role in the earth’s climate; they transport heat from equator to pole, provide moisture for rain, and absorb carbon dioxide from the atmosphere. Ocean models, such as this ...

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 ...
