To the casual observer, the look and feel of shipping containers suggests a world of smooth, lossless transportation, almost ...

The shifting patterns of ocean currents shape our climate and weather. Even today, understanding how ocean currents behave is challenging. But researchers have developed an AI tool that can map ...

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 ...

Historically, the ocean has been difficult to model. Scientists struggled in years past to simulate ocean currents or accurately predict fluctuations in temperature, salinity, and other properties. As ...

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

The ocean has always looked like a blank blue expanse on most maps, yet beneath that surface lies a layered, living architecture that scientists are only now beginning to chart in detail. From the ...

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 ...

On land, we're familiar with heat waves and cold snaps. But the deep sea also experiences prolonged periods of hot and cold. Marine heat waves and cold spells can severely damage ocean ecosystems and ...
