"Driven by three presidential executive orders signed in 2025, the Bureau of Ocean Energy Management wants to loosen its rules governing seabed mining, which could commence in a matter of years in ...

New research reveals how ocean warming triggered the large-scale retreat of the Northeast Greenland Ice Stream (NEGIS)—offering vital clues for understanding its modern-day vulnerability. NEGIS is the ...

The world's oceans cover more than 70% of Earth's surface. They're filled with currents, some much stronger than the fastest flowing large rivers. These currents can be harnessed as clean, marine ...
