There's a huge amount of clean energy locked away in ocean waves, if only we could find a way to harness more of it. A new ...

The GWEC produces electricity using a spinning flywheel housed within a floating structure. As the platform moves with the waves, the flywheel converts that motion into energy. Because the system ...

A tsunami is a series of waves caused by a significant and sudden movement of water in the ocean. The most common trigger for tsunamis is large earthquakes that occur beneath or near the ocean floor, ...

Scientists have discovered that ocean waves may become far more extreme and complex than previously imagined. The new study, published in Nature today, reveals that under specific conditions, where ...

The world's oceans may be vast, but they are getting crowded. Coastal areas are congested with cargo ships, international commercial fishing fleets, naval vessels, oil rigs and, soon, floating ...

A groundbreaking international study published in Nature in April 2025 has unveiled the critical role of previously elusive small-scale ocean features in global marine dynamics. Utilizing data from ...

Current and wave measurements provide essential data for evaluating how water movement affects coastal infrastructure ...

One of the most powerful earthquakes ever recorded triggered huge tsunami waves across the Pacific Ocean. Some as high as four metres were observed after the 8.8-magnitude tremor struck off the city ...

Unlike smaller boats, cruise ships offer a surprisingly steady ride, and one that often catches first-time passengers off guard.
