A new study has revealed how even the deepest seafloors are affected by the daily back-and-forth of the tides, and the change of the seasons, and that currents at the bottom of the ocean are far more ...
On land, we're familiar with heat waves and cold snaps. But the deep sea also experiences prolonged periods of hot and cold. Marine heat waves and cold spells can severely damage ocean ecosystems and ...
A new study from the University of Manchester and the United Kingdom's National Oceanography Centre has uncovered a hidden transport system for microplastics. Deep-sea "avalanches," or turbidity ...
Scientists have developed a new method to measure ocean surface currents over large areas in greater detail than ever before.
Bottom a) temperature (°C) and c) salinity (psu) from the observational climatological mean on the continental shelf over 1975–2012 based on ref. 72 and in the abyss over 1955–2017 based on the World ...

Where does the deep sea begin? Definitions vary across science and legal frameworks. For the purposes of their joint analysis, the members of the European Marine Board’s (EMB) Deep Sea and Ocean ...
New research reveals how the speed of ocean currents and the shape of the seabed influence the amount of heat flowing underneath Antarctic ice shelves, contributing to melting.
