New research reveals Antarctic sea ice has hit record lows three times since 2017, creating cascading effects on global ...

As Earth's largest carbon reservoir, the ocean locks carbon away from the atmosphere. However, scientists still struggle to measure and monitor exactly how much carbon is stored in the ocean, ...

Unlike sea ice, these slabs can be thousands of feet deep. In 2021, Griffiths and his team discovered marine life forms on a boulder on the seafloor under an Antarctic ice shelf, 3,000 feet ...

Deep-sea impacts of climate interventions: Ocean manipulation to mitigate climate change may harm deep-sea ecosystems. Science , 2023 Vol 379, Issue 6636 pp. 978-98 DOI: 10.1126/science.ade7521 ...

You're by the water's edge, observing a turquoise lagoon, then a little further away, you see an almost black sea at the foot of a cliff. Why does the ocean take on such different hues, from ...

Trace metals such as iron or zinc that are stored in deep-sea sediments are lost forever to phytoplankton on the ocean surface. This is what geochemists believed for a long time about the cycle of ...

Scientists have decoded the genomes of the deep-sea clam (Archivesica marissinica) and the chemoautotrophic bacteria (Candidatus Vesicomyosocius marissinica) that live in its gill epithelium cells.

The Yellow Sea, which lies between China and Korea, is entirely in this zone at about 499 feet deep. The Statue of Liberty, at 305 feet, would become fully submerged in this zone.

Like the Mars rovers, this robot must be autonomous.In fact, in some ways it’s even more difficult to keep tabs on a rover 13,000 deep than it is a rover on another planet.Radio waves travel ...

A new report by the Deep Sea Mining Campaign and MiningWatch Canada examines the potential risks of seabed mining operations targeting polymetallic nodules: rock concretions that harbor minerals ...
