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

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 ...

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

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 ...

Getting your Trinity Audio player ready... A sprawling, slow-moving system of ocean currents circulating in the Atlantic that help regulate the earth’s temperature is set to deliver a blob of warmer, ...

A UNSW academic’s innovative research uses ocean currents to optimise shipping routes and reduce the environmental impact of sea transport. Each day more than 50,000 cargo ships ply the world’s oceans ...

Meandering ocean currents play an important role in the melting of Antarctic ice shelves, threatening a significant rise in sea levels. Meandering ocean currents play an important role in the melting ...

Until now, a global evaluation of ocean current energy with actual data was lacking. Using 30 years of NOAA's Global Drifter Program data, a study shows that ocean currents off Florida's East Coast ...

A UNSW academic's innovative research uses ocean currents to optimize shipping routes and reduce the environmental impact of sea transport. Each day more than 50,000 cargo ships ply the world's oceans ...

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 ...
