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

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 ...

A crucial system of ocean currents may already be on course to collapse, according to a new report, with alarming implications for sea level rise and global weather — leading temperatures to plunge ...

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 study published in Nature Climate Change by an international team of scientists from the IBS Center for Climate Physics ...

(CNN) — 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 ...

The Atlantic Ocean currents are slowing down, according to a new study led by a University of Maryland researcher. Specifically, the study found the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC) ...
