Saturn's moon Enceladus has been a subject of scientific intrigue due to its massive water plumes, which were initially believed to be linked to an underground ocean beneath its icy…
A buried shoreline from an ancient Martian ocean has been identified beneath the surface of the Red Planet. Data from China's Zhurong rover, which explored Mars from May 2021 to…
A decline in global ocean evaporation has been identified over the past decade, despite rising sea surface temperatures. This shift challenges established climate models, which have long linked higher temperatures…
Organic carbon preservation in ocean sediments, a phenomenon critical to the Earth's carbon cycle, has been illuminated by new research. The study explores mechanisms that prevent organic carbon from breaking…
Recent studies suggest that the dwarf planet Ceres, the largest object in the asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter, may have once contained a muddy ocean beneath its surface. This…
Recent research is shedding new light on how rainfall affects the ocean's ability to absorb carbon dioxide (CO₂) from the atmosphere—a factor that scientists have often overlooked when assessing how…
Scientists from UiT The Arctic University of Norway have raised concerns about Arctic sea-ice melt affecting global ocean circulation. The study shows that melting ice in the Arctic is sending…
Africa's landmass is gradually splitting due to a tectonic phenomenon. Scientists project that this may lead to the formation of a new ocean in roughly 50 million years. This movement…
The pace of ocean warming has intensified significantly over the past four decades, with recent data highlighting a quadrupling of heat absorption rates. This shift points to an acceleration in…
Recently, scientists observed what is believed to be the largest marine predation event ever recorded. Using sonar technology, they were able to monitor interactions between capelin, a small fish, and…
