Some unusual ocean events have become so intense that scientists have coined a new term: super marine heat waves.

Sea surface temperatures in 2024 broke records and about a quarter of the world’s oceans are experiencing temperatures that ...

The seafloor has been studied by scientists using echo-sounding technology since the early 20th century; significant advances were made during and after World War II, but these early techniques ...

We thank Gudrun Bethge, Ulrike Winkler, and Doris Grieshammer for their technical assistance, Agustin Liotta for his support with the pO 2 recordings, and Marie-Elisabeth Burkart for her support in ...

Global trade in goods will fall this year, and the decline could be severe if President Trump presses ahead with suspended tariff hikes and uncertainty about trade policy spreads beyond the U.S ...

Estimating the seafloor slope from interferometric synthetic aperture sonar (SAS) measurements is useful for many applications. The fundamental approach to estimating the slope in a gridded depth map ...

Findings suggest that the slowdown in seafloor spreading caused deepening of ocean basins, affecting global sea levels over millions of years. Tectonic Activity and Ocean Basin Deepening According to ...

Dalton et al. home in on a period from 15 million to 6 million years ago, over which, as prior research revealed, ocean crust production dropped by 35%. This reduction, mostly resulting from a ...

BACKGROUND: Decades of experimental and clinical data revealed that spreading depolarizations (SDs) play a central causal role in the development of cortical lesions after acute brain injury. However, ...

A Seafloor Spreading Slowdown May Have Slashed Sea Levels Between 15 million and 6 million years ago, a drop in ocean crust production may have lowered sea level by 26–32 meters.

Researchers have mapped the path of a giant submarine avalanche that tore through the Agadir Canyon — a deep trench in the Atlantic seafloor off the coast of Morocco — 60,000 years ago.
