Currents are found in rivers, ponds, marshes and even swimming pools. Few bodies of water have the intricate system of currents that oceans do, though. Ranging from predictable tidal currents to fickle rip currents, ocean currents may be driven by tides, winds or differences in density. They ...
Triona McGrath researches how the oceans are changing due to human activities. About TEDx TEDx was created in the spirit of TED's mission, "ideas worth spreading." It supports independent organizers who want to create a TED-like event in their own community. ...
The warming Andersen is referencing is directly tied to ocean heat. The warmer our air temperatures on Earth are, the warmer our oceans get. To put that into context, we are basically sending a conveyor belt of heat directly toward the part of the Arctic whe...

The ACC’s Crucial Role in Global Ocean Circulation More than four times stronger than the gulf stream, the ACC is a crucial part of the world’s “ocean conveyor belt”, which moves water around the globe – linking the Atlantic, Pacific and Indian Oceans – and is the main mechanism f...
