From the Gulf Stream’s climate-shaping power to hands-on experiments with homemade boats and currents, ocean science offers endless ways to spark curiosity. Homeschool and classroom resources now ...

The world's oceans cover more than 70% of Earth's surface. They're filled with currents, some much stronger than the fastest flowing large rivers. These currents can be harnessed as clean, marine ...

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 ...

Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution's creative team turned the world map inside out for an interactive web project. Here's ...

Wind howls and waves roar as storms rage over the open ocean. But even as gusts reach hurricane strength and swells rise as high as six-story buildings, the violent effects of these storms only reach ...

While scientists have long studied currents of large eddies, the smaller ones -- called submesoscale eddies -- are notoriously difficult to detect. These currents, which range from several kilometers ...

New research reveals how ocean warming triggered the large-scale retreat of the Northeast Greenland Ice Stream (NEGIS)—offering vital clues for understanding its modern-day vulnerability. NEGIS is the ...

A new AI-driven method called GOFLOW is turning weather satellite images into highly detailed maps of ocean currents. By tracking how temperature patterns shift over time, it can reveal fast-moving, ...

The Atlantic meridional overturning circulation (AMOC) is a major oceanic current determining global climate that is showing signs of weakening. It transports warmer waters northwards in the Atlantic ...

Spread the loveThe Dawn of a New Era in Oceanography The intersection of artificial intelligence (AI) and oceanography has led to groundbreaking advancements that are redefining our understanding of ...

This map of kinetic energy flux shows the global average power density calculated using drifter data in watts per square meter. As global electricity demand grows, traditional energy sources are under ...
