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

Bottom a) temperature (°C) and c) salinity (psu) from the observational climatological mean on the continental shelf over 1975–2012 based on ref. 72 and in the abyss over 1955–2017 based on the World ...

Far below the ocean’s surface, tiny plastic fragments are accumulating in thick, drifting clouds that rival any garbage patch ...

Mars may be around 140 million miles away from Earth, but the red planet is influencing our deep oceans by helping drive “giant whirlpools,” according to new research. Scientists analyzed sediments, ...

A new study published this month has highlighted the growing dangers of changes in ocean currents. According to this new research, weaker circulation in the ocean currents could actually enhance the ...

Despite being a planet away, Mars may be triggering “giant whirlpools” in the Earth’s oceans. As detailed in a new paper published in the journal Nature Communications, researchers analyzed samples ...

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 ...

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 ...
