New research reveals continents "peel" from below, feeding enriched material into the oceanic mantle. This process, driven by slow mantle waves, explains why distant ocean volcanoes contain continental chemical signatures, solving a long-standing geological puzzle.
Harnessing the sun and the sea, both plentiful and cost-free, is at the core of innovative initiatives aiming to establish vertical sea farms that float on the ocean..
Despite the ocean undertaking some of the largest climate change impacts, it also plays a part of the solution to reversing it. Researchers look to membrane contactors in direct ocean carbon capture.
The Governments of Belize and the United Kingdom have officially signed a memorandum of understanding (MOU) for the Ocean Country Partnership Programme.
A study conducted by MIT and the National Oceanography Center scientists reveals that the ocean's colour change has undergone significant difference in the past two decades.
Researchers aim to quantify carbon sequestration when looking at the California Current ecosystem, analysing the impacts of the biological pump and algal sinking.
A new analysis of ancient sea species reveals that the megalodon, the largest marine predator which existed 3.6 million years ago, possessed warm-blooded qualities.
By estimating the age of microplastics in the ocean, researchers are finding a difference between the degradation of offshore and nearshore microplastics.
Charlina Vitcheva, Director-General, DG MARE, European Commission, describes a holistic approach to the sustainable use of ocean resources, thriving coastal communities and a profitable fishing sector.
Evidence is questioning the idea that deep ocean microbes are fuelled through sunlight photosynthesis by suggesting hydrogen and carbon monoxide may have more significance than previously thought.
