Models show that as the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation gets weaker, the Gulf Stream will drift northwards. There ...

The European flat oyster (Ostrea edulis) was once widespread in the North Sea. However, overfishing, habitat destruction and ...

Thanks to advanced computer simulations, University of Rhode Island Graduate School of Oceanography (GSO) peer-reviewed ...

Add Yahoo as a preferred source to see more of our stories on Google. Ocean currents contain kinetic energy that can be converted to electrical power using turbines. This is similar to offshore wind ...

Oceans all over the world rely on a delicate balance of different elements to remain stable. Temperature, salinity, pH, and pressure all combine to create the complex bodies of water that maintain ...

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 ...

A new study published this month has highlighted the growing dangers of changes in ocean currents. According to this new research, weaker circulation in the ocean currents could actually enhance the ...

The world's oceans are shifting beneath us in ways that researchers say have no real precedent in the modern record. The ...

For years, climate experts have been sounding the alarm about the worsening impacts of global warming, and a report made by a European news wire agency over the weekend heightened the concerns in an ...

The ocean currents in the Atlantic are headed toward a total shut down, a new study shows. If that happens, less heat is exchanged across the globe and Europe could go into a deep freeze. Northwestern ...

A surprising technique has helped scientists observe how Earth’s oceans are changing, and it’s not using specialized robots or artificial intelligence. It’s tagging seals. Several species of seals ...

Peer-reviewed analysis published Tuesday in Nature Communications estimated that the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC), of which the better known Gulf Stream is a part, could collapse ...
