It’s part of the scenario in “The Day After Tomorrow,” but scientists differ over whether or how fast it may occur. A team ...

By 2050, offshore wind power capacity in the North Sea is set to increase more than tenfold. Researchers at the Helmholtz ...

Han’s team estimates that the area covered by salty seawater in this Southern Indian Ocean region has shrunk by about 30% over the past 60 years. They describe it as the fastest freshening seen ...

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

Hereon researchers simulate long-term effects of wind and tidal wakes caused by wind turbines in the North Sea for the first ...

Climate change is rapidly freshening one of Earth’s saltiest ocean regions in the Southern Indian Ocean, potentially disrupting circulation.

The southern Indian Ocean off the west coast of Australia is becoming less salty at an astonishing rate, largely due to ...

Accurate measurements of surface currents are crucial for coastal monitoring, rip current detection, and predicting the path of pollutants. Several methods exist to measure surface currents, some of ...

Fresh evidence from sediment cores, satellite records, and deep-ocean sensors is converging on a troubling finding: meltwater pouring off the Antarctic ice sheet may be reorganizing the planet’s ocean ...

While we can’t usually observe coastal currents from the shoreline, water in the oceans of the world is in constant motion. Surface currents are driven by wind blowing across the sea surface, and ...

Work on the USS Macon site is just one example of efforts to preserve, investigate and inform the public about maritime heritage within our ocean and Great Lakes waters,” writes ...
