Warmer, saltier water from deep in the Southern Ocean has started rising to the surface, bringing up more carbon dioxide, a ...

The pristine ecosystem, 16,400 feet (5,000 meters) below the surface, is a site earmarked for deep-sea mining of critical and rare metals. NHMDeepSea Group/Natural History Museum, UK A Barbie-pink ...

In recent years, the Southern Ocean has undergone one of the most dramatic environmental shifts observed anywhere on Earth.

The crew's remotely operated vehicle technically facilitated the sighting, which occurred about 2,000 feet below the surface of waters around the South Sandwich Islands, a volcanic archipelago ...

A 2012 paper published in the journal Geophysical Research Letters revealed that the deep ocean is also affected, with one third of the excess heat absorbed 700 m below the sea surface. Modelling ...

Geophysicists have discovered a gigantic hidden ocean beneath Mars' surface, and they say it could harbor life. The massive underground reservoir, discovered using seismic data taken by NASA's ...

A new study focusing on Enceladus, a moon of Saturn, shows that the physics of alien oceans could prevent evidence of deep-sea life from reaching places where we can detect it.

In the open ocean, they believe it will be down to factors such as changes in algal bloom dynamics and shifts in sea surface temperatures, which have reduced light penetration into surface waters.
