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

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 ...

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

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 ...

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 ...

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

Rapidly melting Antarctic ice is causing a dramatic slowdown in deep ocean currents and could have a disastrous effect on the climate, a new report warns. The deep-water flows which drive ocean ...

TOKYO -- Using the flow of currents and the rise and fall of the tide to turn their propellerlike blades, ocean-based power plants are garnering considerable attention as the next green energy source.

The Surface Water and Ocean Topography (SWOT) satellite is allowing researchers to directly observe small-scale ocean processes across the globe for the first time. An eddy is like a mini whirlpool in ...

Diving operations are highly susceptible to weather conditions, and the safety of the archaeology team is paramount. Each ...
