University of Adelaide researchers have developed a new theoretical model to predict the distances ocean waves can travel to break up sea ice. Monitoring of ocean wave propagation is important to ...

The way that heat is transferred from the deep ocean to shallower waters and back also affects how Arctic and Antarctic ice ...

We finally know the forces behind an 80-foot-tall wall of water that rocked the North Sea in 1995. By Laura Baisas Published Aug 5, 2025 12:30 PM EDT Add Popular Science (opens in a new tab) More ...

Marine heat waves—periods in which the upper water layers in the sea temporarily become exceptionally warm—are occurring with increasing frequency worldwide. Recent studies by the Leibniz Institute ...

We used three-dimensional imaging of ocean waves to capture freakish seas that produce a notorious phenomenon known as rogue waves. Our results are now published in Physical Review Letters*. Rogue ...

Forget the gentle waves of a sunny day at the beach. The ocean is a terrifying place, capable of displaying fantastical power. Now, a new analysis of the physics behind waves reveals they can reach ...

Did you know that at least since the 17 th century, humans have studied how to turn ocean waves into energy? But like with many other renewable energies, it was only after the oil price crisis of 1973 ...

An intense marine heat wave that has fueled record-warm sea surface temperatures in the world’s oceans in recent months could linger well into the fall, according to an experimental forecast produced ...

Sweden's CorPower has announced "breakthrough" results from Atlantic ocean testing of its full-scale floating generators, which cleverly time their motions to amplify smaller waves while protecting ...
