Ocean currents driven by wind, water density, tides, ocean floor features, or the Coriolis effect, have an important role on climate regulation and marine ecology. In turn, increasing water surface ...

New science has taken a deep dive into plastic waste, providing the first estimate of how much ends up on the sea floor. New research from CSIRO, Australia's national science agency, and the ...

Deep in the darkest, coldest regions of the ocean live some of this planet’s most unique creatures. They inhabit a world unlike any other on Earth and are adapted to survive in extreme conditions.

More accurate maps of the ocean floor are crucial for a range of seafaring activities, including navigation and laying underwater communications cables. “Seafloor mapping is key in both established ...
