Marine researchers explore sediment highways
A European team of researchers has demonstrated that sediment is transported to the deep sea via canyons in the seabed. The sediment accumulates in the head of the submarine canyons. At the end of the canyons, mud avalanches disperse into the deep sea. Scientists from the Netherlands Institute for Sea Research (NIOZ) presented their findings at an... view more... (2002-04-18)
Bleak Times For The Orange Roughy
A committee of high-level marine scientists are calling for an immediate drop in fishing effort on deep sea stocks such as the orange roughy. According to a report which is released by ICES today (11 June), most deep sea fish stocks are being overfished. Scientists are recommending that not only should existing fishing pressure be reduced but... view more... (2004-06-10)
Asphalt flows from deep-sea volcanoes
New kind of volcano discovered in the Gulf of Mexico Underwater volcanoes that spew asphalt instead of lava: they were discovered in the Gulf of Mexico during an expedition of the research vessel SONNE, led by Prof. Gerhard Bohrmann of the DFG Research Center Ocean Margins. On these volcanoes the multinational team of scientists encountered a... view more... (2004-05-17)
Richness of Marine Life is Under Threat
Future potential for the production of new wonder drugs - including anti-cancer agents - from marine animals and plants, is under threat according to biodiversity expert Professor Carlo Heip, speaking at the European marine science and ocean technology conference EurOCEAN 2004 in Galway, today. According to Professor Heip, marine biodiversity -... view more... (2004-05-11)
Scientist's persistence sheds light on marine science riddle
When he started compiling an online database of seashells 15 years ago, Dr. Gary Rosenberg did not envision that his meticulous record-keeping would eventually shed light on a 40-year-old evolutionary debate. view more (2006-09-08)
Deep-sea species' loss could lead to oceans' collapse, study suggests
The loss of deep-sea species poses a severe threat to the future of the oceans, suggests a new report publishing early online on December 27th and in the January 8th issue of Current Biology, a publication of Cell Press. view more (2007-12-28)
New species of ghostshark from California and Baja California
New species are not just discovered in exotic locales-even places as urban as California still yield discoveries of new plants and animals. view more (2009-09-22)
Paleozoic 'sediment curve' provides new tool for tracking sea-floor sediment movements
As the world looks for more energy, the oil industry will need more refined tools for discoveries in places where searches have never before taken place, geologists say. view more (2008-10-03)
New Deep-Sea Coral Discovered on NOAA-Supported Mission
Scientists identified seven new species of bamboo coral discovered on a NOAA-funded mission in the deep waters of the Papahānaumokuākea Marine National Monument. view more (2009-03-06)
Stanford researchers say living corals thousands of years old hold clues to past climate changes
Using radiocarbon dating and samples of deep-sea corals snipped from the floor of the Pacific Ocean by a submersible, researchers from Stanford and Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory have discovered that deep-sea corals growing off Hawaii are much older than previously thought-some as old as 4,000 years. view more (2008-02-15)
Brent Spar-Second Scientific Report on Decommissioning
The environmental impacts of the new disposal option for Brent Spar selected by Shell Expro and the original deep sea disposal plan are both acceptably small, according to the Second Report of the Scientific Group on Decommissioning Offshore Structures released today (30 June). The report by the Natural Environment Research Council (NERC)... view more... (1998-06-30)
Deep-sea Ecosystem Engineers
Tube worms living at deep-sea oil seeps in the Gulf of Mexico significantly alter their habitat, similar to beavers altering the flow of a river. Researchers from Pennsylvania State University have just published an important finding in the journal Ecology Letters. A computer model of tube worm aggregations was created for Lamellibrachia luymesi,... view more... (2003-03-12)
U of Minnesota-led study reveals mysteries of deep-sea nutrients
Iron dust, the rare but necessary nutrient for most life, can not only be washed into the ocean from rivers or blown out to sea, but it can bubble up from the depths of the ocean floor, a new study led by a University of Minnesota scientist shows. view more (2009-02-09)
Scientists develop model to map continental margins
Scientists at the University of Liverpool have developed a new exploration method to assist the oil and gas industry in identifying more precisely where the oceans and continents meet. view more (2008-09-09)
Life under extreme contidions, microbiology of the hydrothermal vents
Microorganisms are found everywhere, even under the most extreme environmental conditions. These include extremely high temperature environments in which growth of certain Archaea - the most primitive forms of life - is possible at temperatures up to 110oC or higher, and hypersaline environments saturated with salt. The deep-sea hydrothermal vents... view more... (2003-05-29)
Cooling Off Periods
Research by a team of Cambridge scientists has provided new clues about the first dramatic cooling of the Earth's climate 34 million years ago. The team, based at the University of Cambridge's Department of Earth Sciences said that ocean temperature drops were apparently not responsible for the rapid formation of ice in Antarctica. Carrie Lear,... view more... (2000-01-12)
Media Invitation: The 37th CIESM Congress Covering All Mediterranean Marine Sciences
YOU ARE INVITED to report on one of Europe's most important marine science conferences 37th CIESM Congress Forum Barcelona, Spain 7-11 June 2004 CIESM Congresses have been held regularly around the Mediterranean shores since 1919. This conference will bring together more than 700 marine scientists from around the world to present and discuss the... view more... (2004-03-31)
Durham geologists land funding for vital seabed survey equipment
Durham University researchers in Geological Sciences are set to focus their deep-sea surveying skills on shallower waters to produce new information that will help shipping, minerals and offshore oil industries. They are partners in a five-university project that has secured key funding in the latest package to upgrade the UK's research... view more... (2000-12-19)
New life discovered in the deep Mediterranean
Scientists have discovered a new group of microbes thriving in extreme conditions deep in the Mediterranean Sea. Their existence in such hostile environments hints at the possibility of life on other planets. view more (2005-01-13)
Deep-sea exploration beneath hurricane Katrina's wake
Despite having to evade hurricane Katrina, a team of scientists from Harbor Branch and other institutions is returning to port this Sunday with new tales from the deep after completing their second annual Deep Scope expedition. view more (2005-09-02)
