"We gain a clearer understanding of how these dynamics have varied over millennia and what this means for our current climate ...
The Loop Current is an ocean current that transports warm Caribbean water through the Yucatan Channel between Cuba and Mexico. The current flows northward into the Gulf of Mexico, then loops ...
So horizontal ocean currents are driven by density gradients – flowing from low density to high density. Currents do not flow directly in the direction of the density gradient. They flow ...
Helga Huntley collaborates with biologists, oceanographers and other scientists to use mathematics to measure and better ...
Dr. Luis Buatois (Ph.D.) traces a series of hexagons with his finger, following the path carved by tiny organisms millions of years ago that have long since left these unique fossils in their wake.
When ocean currents flow around the planet, they move warm and cold water with them, changing the climate and weather as they go. For example, Britain would actually be much colder if it wasn’t ...
"Waterotor" can work in currents as slow as 2 mph which means it could be used in almost any river, canal, or ocean current. The company believe that "Waterotor" could be the solution for many ...
The energetic flow of meltwater as it rises under steep ice leads to mixing with the warmer ocean waters. This increases melting. Fast ocean currents have a similar effect, as they transfer ...
A system of Atlantic Ocean currents crucial for regulating the world's weather and ecosystems might be more resilient against climate change than previously thought, a new study found. Researchers ...
