The power of the ocean could soon be used to power homes in the U.S. as scientists prepare to test an untapped form of renewable energy. The U.S. Department of Energy has invested $112.5 million ...

Square waves have also been spotted in the South Pacific and the Atlantic Ocean, and has been seen at New Zealand's Whangamatā Beach and in Lisbon, Portugal.

Powerful waves and strong rip currents will pose an exceptional risk of ocean drowning and damage to coastal structures like piers and jetties. Large breaking waves can cause injury, wash people ...

“Unlike unidirectional (2D) waves, multidirectional waves can become twice as large before they break.” FloWave Ocean Energy Research Facility in Edinburgh.

But the Pacific Ocean is going to get even busier: Nearly 600 square miles of ocean off California have been leased for floating wind farms, with more expected. Now the state is considering ...
