New research reveals how the speed of ocean currents and the shape of the seabed influence the amount of heat flowing ...

Scientists fear warming is driving a collapse in the ocean currents that shape climate far and wide. The ice-choked waters ...

There's an underwater conveyor belt flowing through the Atlantic that keeps Europe warm and regulates climate across 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 ...

The Southern Ocean, which circles the globe without being blocked by land, is home to the Antarctic Circumpolar Current (ACC), the longest of the world's ocean currents. Also known as the "channel", ...

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 ...

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 ...

Scientists have warned that Earth's strongest ocean current is slowing down due to climate change, with potentially disastrous consequences. The Antarctic Circumpolar Current (ACC) transports about ...

Scientists have uncovered how changing ocean currents in South Georgia's fjords could affect the survival of young mackerel ...

NASA's new 'Perpetual Ocean 2' video has been compared to Van Gogh's Starry Night, with its mesmerizing depiction of ocean currents. Using the ECCO model, the video visualises 3D ocean currents, ...

The Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation, or AMOC, is like a giant ocean conveyor belt that moves warm water from the tropics to the northern Atlantic, with the Gulf Stream playing a key role, ...

A weakening of major ocean currents in the Northern Atlantic, including the Gulf Stream that warms Ireland, could trigger a sudden change to Ireland's climate that could last for two decades, Irish ...
