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 ...

How can open ocean currents generate energy? Ocean currents contain kinetic energy that can be converted to electrical power using turbines. This is similar to offshore wind farms, or wind turbines ...

As climate change and growing electricity demand spark the search for new renewable energy, researchers have been recently ...

New research reveals how the speed of ocean currents and the shape of the seabed influence the amount of heat flowing ...

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 ...

Getting your Trinity Audio player ready... A sprawling, slow-moving system of ocean currents circulating in the Atlantic that help regulate the earth’s temperature is set to deliver a blob of warmer, ...

A key ocean current in the North Atlantic Ocean is weakening to the point of total collapse due to climate change, a new study warns. Scientists say the North Atlantic Subpolar Gyre – a massive system ...

The Atlantic Ocean's most vital ocean current is showing troubling signs of reaching a disastrous tipping point. Oceanographer Stefan Rahmstorf tells Live Science what the impacts could be. When you ...

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 ...
