An update of the convection code ASPECT enables full coupling of plume dynamics with buoyancy effects of transition zone ...

Scientists have a different idea of the twilight zone. To them, it’s an area of the open ocean where most fish live – depths of 650 to 3,200 feet.

The weakening of the Atlantic meridional overturning circulation could be bolstering rainfall over the Amazon, reducing the ...

Traces of organisms detected in sediments from 7.5 kilometers below the ocean surface reveal how organisms living in the deep sea are engineering their own environments. Analyses of sediment cores ...

Organisms in the deep sea rely on gravity flows to lay down sediment and then make burrows beneath the seafloor, according to a new study.

New scans of the bottom of the Japan Trench reveal extensive burrow structures and evidence of regular "reset" events that ...

Table 4 Ratios among annotated gene clusters belonging to each taxonomical domain for the benthic realm and each pelagic realm depth zone (upper ocean, mesopelagic ocean, and dark ocean). From a ...

The Arctic is warming faster than anywhere else on the planet, and as a result, sea ice in the Arctic Ocean is decreasing. Sea ice loss has far-reaching effects on the planet because the ice helps ...

The surface of the ocean is warming four times faster than it was 40 years ago, scientists have warned. As the Earth absorbs more heat and reflects less back into space, this increase is only set to ...

Alex Scott, Solana's Middle East Lead, describes the Economic Zone as a transformative platform with diverse stakeholders eager to contribute to economic and technological advancement in the UAE.

"We took a step back and recognised that the ocean, and particularly beneath the surface of the ocean was one of the last remaining blind spots for humanity," said Sean Wolpert, the president of DEEP.

Much of this uncertainty is because the ocean processes that control the fate of the sheet occur on an incredibly small scale and are very difficult to measure and model. But recently scientists ...
