Climate change is warming Europe, but scientists are also studying whether a weakened Atlantic current could make Britain colder, with Laurie Laybourne, director of the Strategic Climate Risks ...

Oceans all over the world rely on a delicate balance of different elements to remain stable. Temperature, salinity, pH, and pressure all combine to create the complex bodies of water that maintain ...

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 ...

Satellites offer a frequent overview of our entire planet – covered mostly by water – and provide valuable data to monitor and understand global ocean circulation. Understanding water currents at the ...

The oceans absorb more than 90% of all extra heat trapped by the emissions we’ve produced by burning fossil fuels. This heat is enormous. It’s as if we exploded an atom bomb underwater, every second ...

Mars may be around 140 million miles away from Earth, but the red planet is influencing our deep oceans by helping drive “giant whirlpools,” according to new research. Scientists analyzed sediments, ...
