As sea ice vanishes, polar ocean currents are stirring faster - reshaping heat, carbon, and nutrient flow across the Arctic and Antarctic.

A subpolar gyre is a large-scale ocean current system located at high latitudes created by a persistent region of low ...

You never know what’s going to happen while at sea. We hadn’t even left port from Tauranga, New Zealand yet and had already changed plans at least twice due to extreme winds and rain associated with ...

The Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC) regulates the large-scale circulation of the Atlantic Ocean and influences the global climate, but a recent report from researchers at Utrecht ...

A new satellite has mapped Earth's ocean floors in unprecedented detail, a new study reveals. . The first year of measurements from NASA's Surface Water and Ocean Topography (SWOT) satellite mission, ...

Ocean surface currents are a fundamental component of the global climate system, governing the transport of heat, nutrients and pollutants, as well as influencing marine ecosystems and weather ...

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 ...

New research shows how tiny plant-like organisms hitch a ride on ocean currents to reach darker and deeper depths, where they impact carbon cycling and microbial dynamics in the subtropical oceans The ...

Taken from the International Space Station by an astronaut, this is a view of Lake Van off Turkey, the largest soda lake on Earth. This region is prone to major earthquakes because of movement from ...

A newly-deployed satellite has created the most-detailed map yet of the ocean floor, finding hundreds of hills and underwater volcanoes that were previously missed. When you purchase through links on ...
