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 ...

A study published in Nature Climate Change by an international team of scientists from the IBS Center for Climate Physics ...

"I came across this unique jellyfish I had never seen around here before [...] So I scooped it up, put it in a ziplock bag, ...

In the Arctic, researchers found that the loss of sea ice means that winds no longer strike a solid ice cover. Instead, the ocean surface is free, allowing stronger flows. The study noted that in the ...

For centuries, scientists have known that oceans move and swirl, shifting water across the planet. But recent breakthroughs are revealing that some of the smallest currents are surprisingly powerful ...

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 ...

Episode 3 of this series on COP30 in Brazil looks at AMOC, an ocean current in the Atlantic. It transports warm water to the ...

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 most sophisticated modeling to date forecasts that, under the current global emissions pathway, the Great Barrier Reef ...

Fort Lauderdale Ocean Rescue said the conditions aren't safe for most swimmers this weekend, attributing the rough current to ...
