Fresh evidence from sediment cores, satellite records, and deep-ocean sensors is converging on a troubling finding: meltwater ...

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

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 ...

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 ...

The climate fiction movie The Day After Tomorrow, released in 2004, popularized the devastating effects of sudden climate ...

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 ...

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 ...

A subpolar gyre is a large-scale ocean current system located at high latitudes created by a persistent region of low atmospheric pressure. These gyres circulate water in a cyclonic direction – ...

From space, the oceans look calm and simple — just endless blue. But when scientists zoom in with modern tools, that calm ...
