During the last ice age, the Atlantic Ocean’s powerful current system remained active and continued to transport warm, salty water from the tropics to the North Atlantic despite extensive ice cover ...

Bottom a) temperature (°C) and c) salinity (psu) from the observational climatological mean on the continental shelf over 1975–2012 based on ref. 72 and in the abyss over 1955–2017 based on the World ...

Deep beneath Antarctica’s thick ice, powerful whirlpools of water, called submesoscale eddies are speeding up the melting of the Thwaites Glacier. These spinning water masses, usually no more than six ...

Carbon storage in Earth’s oceans is controlled by deep-sea mixing processes, but the details have proved difficult to test. Ambitious efforts to track ocean mixing using dye have now demonstrated the ...

Deep sea pressure reverse osmosis at 400 to 600 meters drives membrane filtration, cutting energy use more than 50 percent and giving coastal cities safer drinking water.

New study documents a severe coral bleaching event occurring in a deep coral reef that resulted in high rates of coral mortality. Unlike many bleaching events, this was driven by the presence of ...

The ocean is always moving. Even in calm marinas or at the bottom of the sea, the water is never standing still. Ocean currents describe the movement of water from one location to another. There are ...

When Earth was a molten inferno, water may have been locked safely underground rather than lost to space. Researchers discovered that bridgmanite deep in the mantle can store far more water at high ...
