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

Catalan scientists have built a pendulum-based energy-harvesting system that converts the vibrations of water currents into ...

Regarding the earth's air currents and ocean currents, there are phenomena whose principles have not been elucidated even by modern science, and one of these is a phenomenon called ' Taro Matsuno ...

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 ...

A subpolar gyre is a large-scale ocean current system located at high latitudes created by a persistent region of low atmospheric pressure. These gyres circulate water in a cyclonic direction – ...

In order to understand currents, tides and other ocean dynamics, scientists need to accurately capture sea surface height, or ...

The oceans absorb more than 90% of all extra heat trapped by the emissions we've produced by burning fossil fuels. This heat is enormous. It's as if we exploded an atom bomb underwater, every second ...

Iceland’s relatively mild climate is shaped by a crucial network of currents that winds its away around the Atlantic Ocean transporting heat northward — without it, the island would be much icier and ...

Chief Scientist, Australian Antarctic Division and Professor of Climate Science, Australian National University Nerilie Abram received funding from the Australian Research Council (ARC). Ariaan Purich ...

It floats, it drifts, it doesn’t break down. Plastic in the ocean is everywhere, but now it’s doing more than polluting. It’s ...
