A laser-equipped research platform has, for the first time, photographed airflow just millimeters above ocean waves, revealing two simultaneous wind–wave energy-transfer tricks—slow short waves steal ...

An international research team led by the Helmholtz-Zentrum Hereon has, for the first time, succeeded in visualizing and ...

3D ocean waves have more complex movements. They form when waves are all coming in from different directions and shoot vertically instead of solely horizontal and then cresting.

We used three-dimensional imaging of ocean waves to capture freakish seas that produce a notorious phenomenon known as rogue waves. Our results are now published in Physical Review Letters ...

New research from the University of Victoria (UVic) highlights how marine heat waves can dramatically impact marine ...

Withstanding the waves to harvest the wind. Innovative construction methods are enabling the mass production of floating platforms for wind turbines that can be used far offshore.

This article originally appeared on USA TODAY: Chaotic, terrifying rogue waves haunt the ocean. Scientists have a plan to help. A woman swims in the white wash of El Porto beach in Manhattan Beach ...

As heat waves warm the Pacific Ocean, effects on marine life remain murky. A variety of fish swim along a kelp forest off Catalina Island in 2016. (Allen J. Schaben / Los Angeles Times) ...

Scientists have discovered giant mud waves buried deep below the Atlantic Ocean around 250 miles off the coast of Guinea-Bissau, a country in west Africa. Made of mud and sand, these massive ...

NPR's Ailsa Chang talks with Regina Barber and Emily Kwong of Short Wave about chimpanzee "conversations," oxygen from the bottom of the ocean and how a computer program may warn of rogue waves.

Eventually, parts of the ocean might enter a constant state of marine heat wave, at least by today’s common definition. Some scientists see today’s shorter-term spikes as practice for this future.
