Oceanographers are carving up the world’s seas like the last of the holiday turkey. A new 3D map sorts global water masses—from deep, frigid circumpolar waters to the oxygen-starved Black Sea—into 37 ...

It extends the range of the previous map by 10 degrees north and covers a 2.4 times larger area. Divided into 500-m (1,640-ft) grid squares, 23 percent of these map squares have at least one modern ...

Life at the bottom of the ocean is extreme. It's pitch black, the temperature hovers right above freezing and the pressure is immense. Although many species have evolved to survive and thrive at these ...

Offshore wind farms are poised to deliver a lot of carbon-free electricity, but the electrical grid in many coastal areas can't handle that load. As WBUR's Miriam Wasser reports, one solution may be ...

As wind blows across the surface of the sea, it transfers loads of energy — in the form of a wave — to the water below. In fact, research suggests the ocean’s waves could offer limitless renewable ...

On the windward side of Oahu in Kaneohe Bay sits a giant buoy that could help move Hawaii’s electric grid toward more renewable resources by harnessing the motion of the ocean. The 826-ton buoy, the ...

PORTLAND, Ore. — Harnessing ocean power to generate electricity, hydrogen to fuel cars and heat exchangers to cool buildings is the aim of a $13.75 million effort at Florida Atlantic University's ...
