Rip currents are strong channels of water flowing away from shore, often found near breaks in sandbars or structures. Signs of a rip current include a channel of choppy water, a noticeable color ...

A new study published this month has highlighted the growing dangers of changes in ocean currents. According to this new research, weaker circulation in the ocean currents could actually enhance the ...

The ocean is essentially our planet's climate control system, a massive engine that never stops working. For thousands of years, this intricate network of currents has maintained Earth's weather ...

Forecasters have warned that a former tropical disturbance making its way inland is making Gulf Coast beaches prime for rip currents, a deadly ocean danger that kills dozens every year in the United ...

A warming climate doesn't just affect dry land — it affects the ocean, too. For many years, Earth's ocean has acted as a heat sink for climate change: A large part of the heat generated by human use ...

New research reveals how ocean warming triggered the large-scale retreat of the Northeast Greenland Ice Stream ...

A day at the beach is all about fun and relaxation. However, there is a hidden danger lurking in the water that can turn a relaxing visit into a deadly tragedy — rip currents. According to the ...
