Dutch startup Equinox Ocean Turbines has secured new funding to accelerate the development of its innovative jet-sized ...

These currents can be harnessed as clean, marine renewable energy. Marine energy is much more predictable and reliable than many other forms of renewable energy because unlike the sun and wind, which ...

Ocean currents contain kinetic energy that can be converted to electrical power using turbines. This is similar to offshore wind farms, or wind turbines positioned in the ocean, that convert wind ...

Deep below the surface of the ocean, bacteria and critters that feed off nutrients spouting from hydrothermal vents met with ...

Ocean currents here reach power densities above 2,500 watts per square meter, making them 2.5 times stronger than top wind energy sites. The relatively shallow water—about 300 meters deep ...

Wind currents across the Atlantic Ocean will soon steer dust from the Saharan Desert in northern Africa toward Green Country.

Large sea anchors could be used to drag water under a bold plan to keep the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation ...

Learn how ocean currents and warm-core eddies drive big-game sport fisheries worldwide. Discover how real-time satellite data, ... Ultimately, it is the interplay of the rotation of the Earth with ...

Ocean currents respond to changes in temperature, salt levels, wind patterns and sea ice extent. So the global ocean conveyor belt is vulnerable to climate change on multiple fronts.

Is an offshore wind turbine a blessing or a curse? In this Atlantic resort community, the view is clearly one-way.

Past climate change ‘shifts ocean currents and winds in Southern Ocean’ Analysis of global climate patterns from past 1.5 million years reveal links between ocean circulation and climate changes.

Ocean currents respond to changes in temperature, salt levels, wind patterns and sea ice extent. So the global ocean conveyor belt is vulnerable to climate change on multiple fronts.
