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 ...

Scientists fear warming is driving a collapse in the ocean currents that shape climate far and wide. The ice-choked waters ...

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 ...

Arctic sea ice on July 19, 2022 as captured on a NASA Gulfstream V plane. Sea ice could extend as far south as the UK if a crucial system of ocean currents collapses, a new study has found. - Kerem ...

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 part of the EU project ECOTIP, an international team of researchers, including the Helmholtz-Zentrum Hereon, has analyzed ...
