The team examined the chemical composition of ocean sediments near today’s largest ocean dead zone, located in the eastern Pacific Ocean. The team obtained sediment samples—the “history books” of ...

Hycean worlds are also called ocean worlds. They're planets covered in oceans that also have thick hydrogen atmospheres.

The latter has several relatively complex steps, involving applying electricity to water and then going through various chemical processes to store carbon in ocean waters. Puro summarises the former ...

Oxygen-deficient zones in the open oceans shrank during long warm periods in the past, contrary to widespread expectations. This has significant implications for the oceans under human-driven global ...

The climate crisis poses a threat to the rich biodiversity of life that exists in the ocean’s twilight zone, which exists just beyond the reach of sunlight. Life in this region could be reduced ...

There's an acidic zone 13,000 feet beneath the ocean surface — and it's getting bigger. News. By Mark John Costello, Peter Townsend Harris published 13 August 2024 ...

However, scientists' knowledge of what lies in these deep ocean zones is exceptionally slim.. Looking at recorded dives since 1958, the researchers found that humanity has visually observed an ...

The ocean twilight zone, often called the mesopelagic zone, lies between 200 and 1,000 meters below the surface. Sunlight grows faint here, creating a dim, perpetual dusk.

This previously unknown symbiotic relationship helps keep methane—a major greenhouse gas—trapped in the ocean.
