Deep-sea researchers have launched a groundbreaking project to investigate "dark oxygen"—a form of oxygen produced in total darkness on the ocean floor. The initiative follows last year's ...

We all rely on the ocean, whether we know it or not. Earth's vast expanses of water are key to the success of all life on Earth. We eat fish from the ocean, we breathe the oxygen it gives off, we feel ...

There seems to be too much of a radioactive element in rocks deep in the Pacific Ocean – how did it get there 10 million years ago?

This map and an internal magnetic ‘compass’ rely on distinct mechanisms, implying that turtles have two magnetic senses. We developed a magnetic-coil system that could replicate the magnetic ...

This unique, custom-built facility delivers accurate analysis of ocean salinity, dissolved oxygen and dissolved nutrients—collectively known as Essential Ocean Variables (EOVs)—to high ...

The Atlantic is the second largest ocean on the planet ... but is actually a boundary which separates oxygenated water from oxygen-free water below it. This oxygen-free water has similar ...

But for two earthquake researchers, they found whale vocalization reflections could assist in measuring ocean crust structure. Their findings appear today (February 12) in Science. “It’s a nice ...

For example, it’s expected that a global effort to map the entire ocean floor ... scientists around the world. The ocean is becoming more acidic and its oxygen levels are declining, largely ...

The digital bathymetric model of IBCSO Version 2 has a 500m x 500m resolution based on a polar stereographic projection (EPSG: 9354) for the area south of 50°S. I A new map of the seafloor of the ...
