Oceanographers have been able to document the movement of ocean waters to indicate things like currents, weather, and more. Oceanographers document ocean currents, which include long, permanent ...

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 ...

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

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 ...

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 optimise shipping routes and reduce the environmental impact of sea transport. Each day more than 50,000 cargo ships ply the world’s oceans ...

The Atlantic Ocean's most vital ocean current is showing troubling signs of reaching a disastrous tipping point. Oceanographer Stefan Rahmstorf tells Live Science what the impacts could be. When you ...

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 ...

The world's oceans cover more than 70% of Earth's surface. They're filled with currents, some much stronger than the fastest flowing large rivers. These currents can be harnessed as clean, marine ...
