During a voyage off the east coast of Africa, researchers collected detailed measurements of massive swirling currents that ...

The Mozambique Channel, between Mozambique and Madagascar, is home to some of the most turbulent waters in the ocean.

As global electricity use grows, the strain on traditional energy sources increases. Renewable options like wind and solar ...

A major ocean current in the Arctic, the Beaufort Gyre, is changing rapidly due to climate warming—and this could trigger a ...

After sifting through ocean current data dating back three decades, researchers at the Florida Atlantic University (FAU) have ...

A new study analyzed nearly four decades of deep ocean observations to reveal significant cooling and freshening of deep ...

As global electricity demand grows, traditional energy sources are under strain. Oceans, which cover more than 70% of Earth's ...

Until now, a global evaluation of ocean current energy with actual data was lacking. Using 30 years of NOAA's Global Drifter Program data, a study shows that ocean currents off Florida's East Coast ...

One of the ocean currents in the Arctic Ocean is at risk of disappearing this century because of climate change, according to a new study. As a result, the North Atlantic could be flooded with ...

Unlike better known ocean currents – such as the Gulf Stream along the United States East Coast, the Kuroshio Current near Japan, and the Agulhas Current off the coast of South Africa – the ...

Part of the system that pumps water, heat and nutrients around the globe is at risk. Climate change could slow the Antarctic ...

The findings, published in the journal Renewable Energy, highlight promising areas, especially off Southeast Florida and South Africa. These regions feature powerful ocean currents ideal for ...
