Understanding ocean currents is important for work such as weather forecasting, climate research, search-and-rescue ...

Scientists have succeeded in using weather satellites to track ocean currents in real time with an unprecedented level of ...

Scientists have developed a new method to measure ocean surface currents over large areas in greater detail than ever before.

A UNSW academic's innovative research uses ocean currents to optimize shipping routes and reduce the environmental impact of sea transport. Each day more than 50,000 cargo ships ply the world's oceans ...

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 ...

A vast ocean current encircling Antarctica—more powerful than all the world’s rivers combined—played a surprisingly complex role in shaping Earth’s climate.

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 ...
