Scientists uncover how ancient ocean salt controlled carbon storage and shaped global temperatures at the end of the last ice ...

This Deep-Sea discovery is so new it’s rewriting the map of life on Earth and it could reshape our understanding of the climate system. More than 9,000 meters below the Pacific Ocean, scientists have ...

Far below the reach of sunlight, the deep ocean is stitched together by pockets of warmth and chemistry that function like underwater cities. Scientists have spent decades tracing these hidden oases, ...

Researchers have uncovered surprising evidence that the deep ocean’s carbon-fixing engine works very differently than long assumed. While ammonia-oxidizing archaea were thought to dominate carbon ...

Thousands of meters below the ocean's surface lurk some gigantic creatures, much larger than their shallow-water brethren. Scientists have a few hunches for why this happens, but the debate continues.

Scientists have discovered that deep-sea mining plumes can strip vital nutrition from the ocean’s twilight zone, replacing natural food with nutrient-poor sediment. The resulting “junk food” effect ...
