Bacteria riding on sinking ocean particles can erode the mineral ballast that helps those particles descend, slowing the delivery of carbon to the deep sea and potentially weakening one of the ...
Deep-sea waters are warming due to heat waves and climate change, and it could spell trouble for the oceans’ delicate chemical and biological balance. A new study demonstrates that the microbes may ...
Critical minerals are found in several forms in the ocean, from potato-size nodules to brine pools. They are also in some of the least understood parts of our planet.
Deep-sea waters are warming due to heat waves and climate change, and it could spell trouble for the oceans' delicate chemical and biological balance. However, a study published in Proceedings of the ...

Under the Arctic sea ice, fish and plankton live in complete darkness, even in midsummer. Ice floes stop the sun's rays, especially if they are covered by snow. As the ocean heats up, the sea ice ...
Trump's aggressive push toward deep-sea mining is putting pressure on global negotiators to act fast to shape deep-sea mining rules.
Reviewing those rare encounters, marine scientist Mark C. Benfield at Louisiana State University (LSU) connected scattered sightings and documented the fish alive in its natural depth range. Footage ...
A truly remarkable underwater highway has been making waves in Barbados. The nation has signed an MoU to install a pilot modular offshore wave energy system.
Researchers assessing some curious markings in a cliffside near the city of Ancona, Italy, say they were probably caused by turtles fleeing an underwater landslide in the Cretaceous Period – but ...
