The ocean is essentially our planet's climate control system, a massive engine that never stops working. For thousands of years, this intricate network of currents has maintained Earth's weather ...

A couple billion years ago the ocean was the cradle of life. Throughout the ages it's been the gateway to riches, exploration and colonization. Now it holds the answers to the climate and ultimately ...

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 ...

Arctic sea ice on July 19, 2022 as captured on a NASA Gulfstream V plane. Sea ice could extend as far south as the UK if a crucial system of ocean currents collapses, a new study has found. - Kerem ...

RASCOE: And while most of us like to sit by the ocean, NPR's Short Wave podcast is diving in, with this story from producer Hannah Chinn on how the ocean and the atmosphere affect each other.

Sentinel-6B continues three decades of global ocean height measurements, tracking sea level changes, ocean currents, and climate-related trends for scientific research and operational forecasting.

A crucial ocean-current system seems unlikely to collapse even in the face of severe climate change ― despite predictions that it would disintegrate if Earth continues to warm. That’s the ...

A warming climate doesn't just affect dry land — it affects the ocean, too. For many years, Earth's ocean has acted as a heat sink for climate change: A large part of the heat generated by human use ...

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 ...
