A research team has shown that methanogens, micro-organisms ubiquitous in low-oxygen environments like aquifers, soil and even permafrost, can propel their growth by dissolving calcium carbonate, one ...

A University of Nebraska-Lincoln research team has identified new microscopic players in the global carbon cycle, a discovery ...

Earthquakes excite the Earth’s subsurface over a small area, and waves of energy then propagate through the solid earth. Depending on the depth of the waves and the materials they encounter, they can ...

Add a description, image, and links to the subsurface-hydrology topic page so that developers can more easily learn about it.

We used to think that the subsurface was a far-from-ideal place for living things. Habitats that can soak up light and warmth from the Sun have the energy to sustain many forms of life and so were ...

The deep scattering layer (DSL), a stratum of the marine diel vertical ... all the scientists and technicians involved in the deployment and/or retrieval of the subsurface mooring that provided these ...

We suggest that this difference reflects subsurface structural characteristics. Although the region is obviously volcanic, the results are also influenced by the attenuation of oceanic crust, which ...
