By 2050, offshore wind power capacity in the North Sea is set to increase more than tenfold. Researchers at the Helmholtz ...

The ocean is essentially our planet's climate control system, a massive engine that never stops working. For thousands of years, this intricate network of currents has maintained Earth's weather ...

Despite the sea appearing to be a calm and uneventful natural feature, the depths of the ocean were not an alien ecosystem. A recent study indicates the connection between nature and the processes ...

Scientists have spotted something dramatically unusual in the ocean, and it could be a warning sign of things to come. Warm air dances with cold air; cold water chases warm water. It's all a part of a ...

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 scientists, ...

Mars' distant orbit may have more of an impact on our planet than we first thought. The interaction between Earth and Mars's gravitational influences may be linked to a 2.4-million-year cycle of ocean ...

Scientists are sounding the alarm that a crucial component of the planet’s climate system is in gradual decline and could one day reach a tipping point that would radically alter global weather ...

A major current that runs the length of the Atlantic Ocean and plays an important role in the planet's climate may be approaching a tipping point that would lead to its collapse, researchers have ...

The world’s largest and most powerful ocean current may grow even stronger as the planet warms, scientists say. And that could make Antarctica’s ice melt even faster. In fact, there’s evidence that’s ...
