The ocean is essentially our planet's climate control system, a massive engine that never stops working. For thousands of ...

The Southern Ocean can release stored heat during cooling, creating short-term warming. This discovery shows climate recovery ...

Antarctica has long been seen as a remote, unchanging environment. Not any more. The ice-covered continent and the surrounding Southern Ocean are undergoing abrupt and alarming changes. Sea ice is ...

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 ...

LONDON (CNN/CNN Newsource/WKRC) - Parts of the world could face a deep freeze if a crucial network of Atlantic Ocean currents collapses, according to a new study. The Atlantic Meridional Overturning ...

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 ...

The nightmare scenario of Atlantic Ocean currents collapsing, with weather running amok and putting Europe in a deep freeze, looks unlikely this century, a new study concludes. In recent years, ...

Melting ice sheets are slowing the Antarctic Circumpolar Current (ACC), the world’s strongest ocean current, researchers have found. This melting has implications for global climate indicators, ...

Beneath the surface of the world's oceans, powerful currents act like invisible highways for marine life. These massive water ...

The world’s largest iceberg is “rapidly breaking up” into several large “very large chunks,” scientists from the British Antarctic Survey (BAS) have said. Previously weighing nearly a trillion metric ...

This map of kinetic energy flux shows the global average power density calculated using drifter data in watts per square meter. As global electricity demand grows, traditional energy sources are under ...
