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 ...

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

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

Freshwater from melting ice sheets can slow the critical ocean circulation that helps regulate the planet’s climate ...

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 ...

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

Large-scale wind patterns around the globe drag ocean surface waters with them, creating complex currents, including some that flow toward the western sides of the ocean basins. The currents hug ...

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

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 ...

Climate change could further shift wind patterns and ocean currents, expanding cold water further north along the coasts of Isabela and Fernandina and driving fish populations higher, according to ...
