New research reveals how ocean warming triggered the large-scale retreat of the Northeast Greenland Ice Stream ...

Warming seas and shifting currents are disrupting fisheries, ecosystems and centuries-old food traditions across Japan’s ...

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 ...

The world’s largest and most powerful ocean current may grow even stronger as the planet warms, scientists say. And that could make Antarctica’s ice melt even faster. In fact, there’s evidence that’s ...

Satellites offer a frequent overview of our entire planet – covered mostly by water – and provide valuable data to monitor and understand global ocean circulation. Understanding water currents at the ...

The Antarctic Circumpolar Current (ACC), the strongest ocean current on Earth, is rapidly weakening due to the accelerating ...

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 ...

Oceans all over the world rely on a delicate balance of different elements to remain stable. Temperature, salinity, pH, and pressure all combine to create the complex bodies of water that maintain ...

Due to global warming, a deep ocean current around Antarctica that has been relatively stable for thousands of years could head for "collapse" over the next few decades. Such a sudden shift could ...

The ocean currents in the Atlantic are headed toward a total shut down, a new study shows. If that happens, less heat is exchanged across the globe and Europe could go into a deep freeze. Northwestern ...

An ancient, hidden mountain range has been discovered above a hotspot lying amongst the strongest ocean current on Earth. The discovery was made by researchers on board a voyage in the Southern Ocean, ...
