Without warm currents from the South Atlantic, Iceland would be much icier and stormier. Now, those currents are at risk of ...

As sea ice vanishes, polar ocean currents are stirring faster - reshaping heat, carbon, and nutrient flow across the Arctic and Antarctic.

Iceland has designated the potential collapse of a major Atlantic Ocean current system a national security concern and an ...

Iceland declares Atlantic Ocean current collapse a national security threat as scientists warn it could trigger a modern-day ...

A subpolar gyre is a large-scale ocean current system located at high latitudes created by a persistent region of low ...

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 ...

A vital system of Atlantic Ocean currents that influences weather across the world could collapse as soon as the late 2030s, scientists have suggested in a new study — a planetary-scale disaster that ...

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 ...

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 ...

A warming climate doesn't just affect dry land — it affects the ocean, too. For many years, Earth's ocean has acted as a heat sink for climate change: A large part of the heat generated by human use ...
