The renewable energy company Panthalassa says it has a solution to the proliferation of AI data centers, which consume massive amounts of energy and are the cause of increased carbon pollution: sea-based data centers,

The Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC) is a large-scale and delicate system of ocean currents, responsible for our warm climate.

Ocean sensors detect weakening in Atlantic circulation, highlighting possible long-term effects on climate and marine ecosystems.

Governments have designated vast marine protected areas and pledged to conserve 30% of the ocean by 2030, enforcement often lags behind these commitments. Research shows that the ecological benefits of marine protected areas depend less on their size than ...

The average depth of the ocean is around 12,080 feet. While there are vessels of all sizes, even some of the largest anchor and chain systems, like those found on carriers, only stretch to around 1,080 feet long, well short of what's needed in the middle ...

Caltech researchers have identified geological features on Mars that could point to the existence of a long-dried ocean that once covered a third of the Red Planet's surface. The research was conducted by former Caltech postdoctoral scholar Abdallah Zaki and Caltech professor of geology Michael Lamb.

More bad news for the ocean current at the center of the fictional (and scientifically inaccurate) "Day After Tomorrow" climate change disaster movie.
