During the last ice age, the Atlantic Ocean’s powerful current system remained active and continued to transport warm, salty water from the tropics to the North Atlantic despite extensive ice cover ...

Ocean microbes keep the planet healthy by cycling nutrients and capturing carbon, but a detailed and precise map of where ...

During the last ice age, the Atlantic Ocean's powerful current system remained active and continued to transport warm, salty ...

One of the most important functions of the ocean is to move heat around the planet via currents. Think of the ocean as Earth's central heating system, constantly redistributing thermal energy from the ...

Oceanographers have been able to document the movement of ocean waters to indicate things like currents, weather, and more.

The ocean is essentially our planet's climate control system, a massive engine that never stops working. For thousands of years, this intricate network of currents has maintained Earth's weather ...

Power-hungry, fossil-fuel dependent Japan has successfully tested a system that could provide a constant, steady form of renewable energy, regardless of the wind or the sun. For more than a decade, ...

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 ...

Deep sea pressure reverse osmosis at 400 to 600 meters drives membrane filtration, cutting energy use more than 50 percent ...

* Warming deep oceans means higher sea levels * Oceans act like flywheel for global climate * Scientists unsure if climate change is causing warming * Dearth of long-term data is hampering researchers ...

An interdisciplinary study confirms, for the first time, the oceanographic pathways that transport floating macroalgae from ...
