New discovery of a fragile ecosystem beneath undersea volcano leaves researchers baffled. They fear it may be vulnerable to ...

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 ...

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 ...
