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 ...

It’s part of the scenario in “The Day After Tomorrow,” but scientists differ over whether or how fast it may occur. A team studying the current toils to bring clarity.

The Atlantic Ocean's 'conveyer belt' might be slowing down - and scientists are rushing to figure out why.

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 ...

For centuries, scientists have known that oceans move and swirl, shifting water across the planet. But recent breakthroughs are revealing that some of the smallest currents are surprisingly powerful ...

Ocean currents driven by wind, water density, tides, ocean floor features, or the Coriolis effect, have an important role on climate regulation and marine ecology. In turn, increasing water surface ...

A warming climate doesn't just affect dry land — it affects the ocean, too. For many years, Earth's ocean has acted as a heat sink for climate change: A large part of the heat generated by human use ...
