Some of the fastest ocean currents in the world have been discovered off South Africa, Somalia, Kenya, Tanzania and Madagascar. These can be used to generate energy.
The same instruments used to measure earthquakes pick up vibrations as ocean waves put pressure on the sea floor. Four decades of data tell a story about ocean storms.
Offshore wind turbines are getting bigger and bigger – and many of them now float – here’s how we stop them drifting away.
Our team discovered clear changes in the distribution and strength of ocean eddies. These changes have never been detected before.
The Moon has gravity of its own, which pulls the oceans (and us) towards it.
Australia has the world’s largest wave energy resource – so how do we unlock our ocean’s potential?
The blue economy is unknown, overlooked and underdeveloped in Africa. It could represent a major growth driver for the continent.
South Africa has the opportunity to benefit from its ocean economy. But to do that, the country needs to put better policies in place to counter ocean acidification.
Research project combines digital technologies with farms of wave generators to bring plentiful and reliable ocean power closer to commercialization.
Australia has some fairly ambitious goals for green energy: a renewable energy target (currently under review) of 20% of electricity from renewables by 2020, and a forecast to get 51% of electricity from…
