Glaciers are melting at an alarming rate. As this cold fresh water from glacier melt enters lakes and oceans, it can have a big effect on how the water behaves — and on the fish, mammals, and other ...

The world's oceans cover more than 70% of Earth's surface. They're filled with currents, some much stronger than the fastest flowing large rivers. These currents can be harnessed as clean, marine ...

The Florida Current, a major contributor to a system of ocean currents that regulate Earth’s climate, has not weakened as much as previously reported.

You might think only massive ocean currents like the Gulf Stream affect global weather. But swirling mini-currents, known as submesoscale eddies, play a crucial hidden role.

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

A system of Atlantic Ocean currents crucial for regulating the world's weather and ecosystems might be more resilient against climate change than previously thought, a new study found. Researchers ...

A recent study reveals our warming world is triggering shifts in winds and ocean currents, which is likely contributing to an increase in harmful carbon pollution. An international team of ...

The speed and direction of deep currents off Mozambique’s coast are more subject to change than scientists expected.

Research ships rarely brave the Greenland Sea in winter. Early this year, scientists ventured into the ice-covered waters to capture crucial data about the planet’s future.

Some of the fastest ocean currents in the world have been discovered off South Africa, Somalia, Kenya, Tanzania and Madagascar. These can be used to generate energy.
