New research from the University of Copenhagen suggests that volcanic eruptions during the Ice Age may have triggered sudden ...

It’s part of the scenario in “The Day After Tomorrow,” but scientists differ over whether or how fast it may occur. A team ...

By 2050, offshore wind power capacity in the North Sea is set to increase more than tenfold. Researchers at the Helmholtz ...

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 ...

However, in the mid-90s, the AMOC strength started to decline and the current began to move slower. Scientists attribute the change to the continued warming of the ocean’s surface and the accompanying ...

(CNN) — Flooding on the US Northeast coast has risen significantly as a critical network of Atlantic Ocean currents weakens, according to a new study — an alarming glimpse into the future as some ...

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 ...

Using advanced computer simulations, researchers from the University of Rhode Island's Graduate School of Oceanography (GSO) ...

A new study from the University of Manchester and the United Kingdom's National Oceanography Centre has uncovered a hidden transport system for microplastics. Deep-sea "avalanches," or turbidity ...

Images snapped from space show the spectacular patterns formed by sea ice floating on the ocean currents The pictures, taken by the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) on NASA's ...

As global electricity use grows, the strain on traditional energy sources increases. Renewable options like wind and solar have become popular, yet there's a massive, largely untapped resource beneath ...
