Ocean currents are our planet’s circulatory system, and they keep everything from ecosystems to the climate healthy. But we’re changing Earth in ways that threaten to disrupt and even break critical ocean currents like the planet-wide...

This video describes density differentiation between ocean surface currents and deep ocean currents, and how this difference affects global ocean current flow.

Dive into the science of ocean currents (including the Global Conveyor Belt current), and find out how climate change affects them. -- In 1992, a cargo ship carrying bath toys got caught in a storm. Shipping containers washed...

Delve into the fascinating world of ocean currents, from surface flows influenced by wind patterns to deep currents driven by water density. Learn about the crucial role of currents in regulating global climate and distributing...

Join Vincent, Agathe, and David as they investigate the journey of a bottle thrown into the sea. Inspired by the famous 1992 plastic duck experiment, they study ocean currents, including surface and deep currents, to predict the...

In this Nature League Lesson Plan, Brit explains some ocean basics and then answers questions related to the Earth’s seas.

As the East Australian Current flows past the remote and vibrant Lord Howe Island, it brings not only life-sustaining nutrients but also a threat—plastic pollution from faraway lands. While most seabird species on the island are thriving...

This video provides an overview of the world's oceans, their importance in regulating the environment, and how climate change is negatively impacting them. It explains ocean currents, the Gulf Stream, and the global conveyor belt,...

A super-current runs from the Arctic past South America to the Indian Ocean. This is major factor influencing our climate, controlling everything from currents to the weather. Earth Science - Human Impacts - Learning Points. The great...

Today, we're going to take a closer look at how the oceans circulate by following the life of a discarded water bottle as it gets snagged in the North Pacific Garbage Patch. We'll talk about what causes the movement of water, called...

We can see the effects of the climate crisis in many different ways here on land. But the oceans are also part of the interconnected, global system. So, here are a few ways that climate change affects our oceanic buddies.

El Niño is a recurring climate pattern characterized by warmer than usual ocean temperatures in the equatorial Pacific. Two back-to-back 3-D visualizations track the changes in ocean temperatures and currents, respectively,...

In this episode of Upgrade, Motherboard goes to Baja California, Mexico to get a firsthand look at these free floating pods, and to get an understanding for why we need better ways to cultivate our future food sources. Whether it’s found...

The physical and chemical characteristics of ocean waters are discussed including salinity, temperature, density, and pressure. Footage from Maine, the Canadian Maritimes, and the Pacific coast highlight dynamic characteristics of the...

As the world grappled with a pandemic, a problem has been swimming below the surface

The Ocean is a deep and scary world that is completely removed from most of our lives. In this video I explore just how deep the ocean actually is while discussing some of the strange life down there... and other just plain weird and odd...

Today we're going to tell the story of a quiet revolution in the 1960s that shifted our entire understanding of how the Earth works. We currently believe that the Earth's broken outer shell rises from the mantle and folds back in - kind...
