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 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 microbes keep the planet healthy by cycling nutrients and capturing carbon, but a detailed and precise map of where they live had never been made—until now.

In order to understand currents, tides and other ocean dynamics, scientists need to accurately capture sea surface height, or a snapshot of the ocean's surface, including peaks and valleys due to ...

A recent study published in the Journal of Climate reveals that two distinct bands in the world’s oceans are warming at unprecedented rates. Covering latitudes near 40 degrees in both the Northern and ...
