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 ...

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

One of the most important functions of the ocean is to move heat around the planet via currents. Think of the ocean as Earth's central heating system, constantly redistributing thermal energy from the ...

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 ...

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 ...

James H. VanZwieten Jr. receives funding from the US National Science Foundation and US Department of Energy. Gabriel Alsenas receives funding from the U.S. Department of Energy, National Science ...

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 ...

In this first glimpse of the "Sea Camp" series from NPR's Short Wave podcast, hear how climate change will significantly shift three-quarters of the ocean's surface currents by the end of the century.

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 ...
