Take a deep dive into the ocean’s secrets. ExtremeTech reveals its hidden layers and life forms. Discover the depths of our ...

Remarkably, it could one day lead to the formation of Earth's sixth ocean. At the heart of this phenomenon are tectonic plates—massive sections of the Earth's crust that move atop the semi-fluid ...

A team of geologists at the Chinese Academy of Geological Sciences, the Institute of Space Sciences and the Shandong ...

“This mechanism is similar to the formation of dead zones in today’s coastal waters, except that humans are responsible for the current nutrient enrichment.” These findings may help better predict the ...

Researchers have been exploring ocean alkalinity enhancement for the last five years. It's a way to remove carbon from our atmosphere.

An international collaboration looks at the role of the subsurface ocean, especially a depth referred to as 26 °C isothermal ...

Tropical storms form over warm oceans and travel from east to west. Tropical storms bring with them high winds, rain and storm surges. Tropical storms can cause large-scale damage and danger to life.

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?

The structures strongly resembled coastal sediment deposits on Earth, such as those found in the Bay of Bengal, formed by the presence of a long-term stable ocean, the study authors said.

The field encompasses ocean circulation, energy dissipation, marine biology, ecology, biogeochemical cycles, water mass formation and movement, ocean temperature and salinity, and marine carbon ...
