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 ...

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 ...

The Indonesian Throughflow carries both warm water and fresh water from the Pacific into the Indian Ocean. As the only ...

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 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 ...

Some of the ocean's tiniest organisms get swept into underwater currents that act as a conduit that shuttles them from the sunny surface to deeper, darker depths where they play a huge role in ...

Converting the vibrations generated by water currents in contact with an object into energy. This is the basis of the new ...

A UNSW academic’s innovative research uses ocean currents to optimise shipping routes and reduce the environmental impact of sea transport. Each day more than 50,000 cargo ships ply the world’s oceans ...
