An underwater voyage has revealed a network of creatures thriving at the bottom of deep-sea ocean trenches, researchers said in a newly published paper. The deep-sea trenches, also called Hadal ...

We know next to nothing about 99.999 percent of the seafloor. How one researcher plans to democratize deep-sea exploration. Katy Croff Bell, who has been an ocean researcher for 25 years, is working ...

Marine heatwaves can jam the ocean’s natural carbon conveyor belt, preventing carbon from reaching the deep sea. Researchers studying two major heatwaves in the Gulf of Alaska found that plankton ...

New research shows that marine heat waves can reshape ocean food webs, which in turn can slow the transport of carbon to the ...

Deep beneath the ocean's surface, a groundbreaking DNA study reveals that the deep sea is far more globally connected than once thought. By analyzing thousands of brittle stars preserved in museum ...

Strange organisms that get their energy from chemical reactions instead of the sun have been discovered at the bottom of ocean trenches up to 31,000 feet deep in the northwest Pacific between Russia ...

Rising deep-ocean oxygen levels likely opened up new marine habitats and spurred speciation among early vertebrates, according to a new study in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.

No matter where you go on the planet, life seems to find a way to survive, even six miles below the surface of the ocean ...
