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 ...

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, ...

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 ...

Parts of the Amazon rainforest could see a 40 percent drop in annual rainfall if climate change slows the Atlantic Meridional Ocean Circulation (AMOC), according to a new study led by CU Boulder with ...

A new study has revealed significant acceleration in the upper-ocean circulation of the equatorial Pacific over the past 30 years. This acceleration is primarily driven by intensified atmospheric ...

Off the coast of Western Australia, the Southern Indian Ocean is becoming significantly less salty, and scientists say it’s ...

Climate change is rapidly freshening one of Earth’s saltiest ocean regions in the Southern Indian Ocean, potentially disrupting circulation.

As far as India is concerned, the dip in salinity could have a serious impact. The Indian Ocean is key to monsoons, and it ...

Hereon researchers simulate long-term effects of wind and tidal wakes caused by wind turbines in the North Sea for the first ...
