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

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

Scientists map ocean currents to trap floating trash and plastic debris, improving cleanup efforts of the Great Pacific Garbage Patch.

Scientists use satellite data to find ocean zones where trash naturally gathers for easier, faster, and cleaner clean-up.

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

With densities over 2,500 watts per square meter, these regions are 2.5 times more energy-dense than 'excellent' wind resources. Shallow waters further enhance the potential for ocean current ...

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. Previous ...

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

These models indicated that sargassum was taken up by wind and ocean currents, and moved from the Sargasso Sea eastward, then southward, and then into the tropics. Additional modeling suggested that ...

Until now, a global evaluation of ocean current energy with actual data was lacking. Using 30 years of NOAA's Global Drifter ...
