These oxygen minimum zones, usually found over 100 meters below the surface, rose rapidly. At one site, Station 3.5, the OMZ had shoaled to just 41 meters deep. At other points, the oxygen-deficient ...

"Nitrogen is a major nutrient that regulates marine primary production in a large portion of the ocean. However, nitrogen input from human-related activities causes an excessive amount of nutrients ...

In a world where scientific discoveries continue to reshape our understanding of nature, a recent finding from the abyssal seafloor is making waves. Imagine this: a vast, cold and dark expanse miles ...

The largest oxygen loss is observed at a depth of between 100–300 m in the Tropical and North Pacific Ocean, the Southern and Artic Ocean and the South Atlantic Ocean. Ocean oxygen loss driven by ...

In the dark abyss of the northern Pacific Ocean, scientists have discovered an unexpected source of oxygen: metal-rich nodules strewn across the seafloor. Experiments conducted at sea and in the ...

Scientists Discover ‘Dark Oxygen’ on the Ocean Floor Generated—Surprisingly—by Lumps of Metal Researchers found that electric currents from polymetallic nodules are behind this alchemy ...

Shown here are microbubbles of oxygen from a sample collected in 2021 near the seafloor, 4,000 meters below the surface of the Pacific Ocean in the Clarion-Clipperton Zone.

A Paradigm Shift in Ocean Science Microbubbles of oxygen from a sample collected in 2021 near the seafloor, 4,000 meters below the surface of the Pacific Ocean in the Clarion-Clipperton Zone.

Researchers at the Scottish Association for Marine Science (SAMS) have found oxygen-producing electric rocks 13,000 feet below the ocean's surface, challenging the long-held belief that ...
