Sound waves travel through different types of matter, including liquid water. Importantly, the movement of ocean water can greatly affect how sound waves travel from one point to another. Mesoscale ...

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 ...

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 ...

A team of NASA and university scientists has developed a new way to use satellite measurements to track changes in Atlantic Ocean currents, which are a driving force in global climate. The finding ...

The Surface Water and Ocean Topography mission will explore how the ocean absorbs atmospheric heat and carbon, moderating global temperatures and climate change. Though climate change is driving sea ...

Getting your Trinity Audio player ready... A sprawling, slow-moving system of ocean currents circulating in the Atlantic that help regulate the earth’s temperature is set to deliver a blob of warmer, ...

Until now, a global evaluation of ocean current energy with actual data was lacking. Using 30 years of NOAA's Global Drifter Program data, a study shows that ocean currents off Florida's East Coast ...

James H. VanZwieten Jr. receives funding from the US National Science Foundation and US Department of Energy. Gabriel Alsenas receives funding from the U.S. Department of Energy, National Science ...

Meandering ocean currents play an important role in the melting of Antarctic ice shelves, threatening a significant rise in sea levels. A new study published in Nature Communications has revealed that ...
