Deep-sea waters are warming due to heat waves and climate change, and it could spell trouble for the oceans' delicate chemical and biological balance. However, a study published in Proceedings of the ...

In the deep ocean, where sunlight never reaches, and food drifts down like confetti, survival is less about speed and more ...

Ocean acidification is sinking into marine regions as deep as 1500 metres, posing new threats to organisms like sea butterflies, sea snails and cold-water corals. The ocean is the largest natural sink ...

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.

When a hurricane hits land, the destruction can be visible for years or even decades. Less obvious, but also powerful, is the effect hurricanes have on the oceans. In a new study, we show through real ...
