Between 15 million and 6 million years ago, a drop in ocean crust production may have lowered sea level by 26 to 32 meters.
“Tharp’s work certainly provided evidence and weight to the theory of plate tectonics, but her work is really about seafloor ...

Organisms in the deep sea rely on gravity flows to lay down sediment and then make burrows beneath the seafloor, according to ...
Scientists led from University College London placed 50 seismometers on the Atlantic Ocean seafloor in the Azores-Madeira-Canary Islands region. Their aim was to record the signals from ...

This reduction, mostly resulting from a global slowdown in seafloor spreading, caused ocean basins to deepen. In addition, the researchers calculated that heat flowing into the ocean from the hot ...
To map the whole ocean floor by the end of this decade ... Vescovo has been thinking about mapping the seafloor for a long time. He’s mostly known for an incredibly long list of exploration ...
Traces of organisms detected in sediments from 7.5 kilometers below the ocean surface reveal how organisms living in the deep sea are engineering their own environments. Analyses of sediment cores ...
Deep under the sea, pipelines and cables carrying fuel, power and communications are strewn on the ocean floor like a central nervous system for the global economy. Huge stretches of these ...
The digital bathymetric model of IBCSO Version 2 has a 500m x 500m resolution based on a polar stereographic projection (EPSG: 9354) for the area south of 50°S. I A new map of the seafloor of the ...
He said he believed new "sponge nurseries" could be used to revitalise fisheries and repair damage to the sea floor from ocean-based construction, including for oil and gas extraction and offshore ...
