Features on the ocean floor varied across the regions and were affected by surface activities, influencing the nature and behavior of currents.

A groundbreaking study in the journal Science, has unveiled how deep ocean currents—known as global overturning circulation—play a pivotal role in shaping the diversity and function of microbial life ...

Researchers measuring the salinity of the Southern Ocean did find unexpected results, but some online reports got the details ...

A world-first study conducted by the Museums Research Institute has discovered that marine life in the cold, dark, and pressurized depths of the ocean is far more globally interconnected than ...

Researchers traveling along the Kuril–Kamchatka and Aleutian trenches in the northwest Pacific Ocean used a manned ...

A groundbreaking study in the journal Science, has unveiled how deep ocean currents—known as global overturning circulation—play a pivotal role in shaping the diversity and function of microbial life ...

A warming climate doesn't just affect dry land — it affects the ocean, too. For years, Earth's ocean has acted as a heat sink for climate change: A large part of the heat generated by human use of ...

With a collapse of this deep ocean current, the oceans below 4000 metres would stagnate. “This would trap nutrients in the deep ocean, reducing the nutrients available to support marine life ...

This cycle of deep-ocean currents may have influenced past long-term global warming patterns, the scientists suggest. "We were surprised to find these 2.4-million-year cycles in our deep-sea ...

The reason this new study believes that the changes in the ocean current could actually cause more dredging of that deep ocean carbon is because of the overall balance between iron, carbon ...

The ocean is not a uniform soup of water. In explaining this concept, Bethany Kolody, Ph.D., first author on the paper, noted that “winds and storms only reach to about 500 meters (1,640 feet ...
