A team of Australian bodyboarding ratbags has managed to capture staggering footage of an extraordinary oceanic phenomenon: a place where four 12-ft (3.7-m) waves regularly converge into an oval dip, ...
At 3:00 p.m. on New Year's Day in 1995, work stopped on the deck of the Norwegian Draupner oil platform, which stood isolated out in the middle of the tempestuous North Sea. The wind had grown too ...
The converging waves swirl until they finally break into a 130-foot pillar of saltwater, in a process that scientists have ...
This eco-conscious, full-featured web browser automatically removes trash and plastic from the ocean and waterways with each ...
The design of coastal structures, the safety of offshore shipping, the prediction of extreme weather, coastal flooding, and beach erosion--all depend on our ability to understand and predict ocean ...
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 ...
The wave was recorded by a buoy floating in the remote Southern Ocean, The Sydney Morning Herald reported. It is believed to be the largest ever documented in the southern hemisphere, beating out the ...
It’s not just global air temperatures that are heating up. Ocean heat waves are happening more frequently and lasting longer, too—a potential major threat to coral reefs and other marine organisms, ...
Supercomputer simulations of planetary-scale interactions show how ocean storms and the structure of Earth's upper layers together generate much of the world's seismic waves. Decoding the faint but ...
Surf's up in the Southern Ocean. A massive, 64-foot high wave was measured by an automated buoy about 400 miles south of New Zealand in the Southern Ocean on Saturday. That's taller than a six-story ...
