Tiny limpets born at scalding hydrothermal vents nearly 2,000 meters below the ocean surface spend part of their early lives ...

Ventilation is an important process within the global ocean, where waters sink to deeper layers, are transported by deep currents, and eventually get upwelled back to the surface. This process affects ...

New Antarctic research shows the deepest layer of the Southern Ocean is shrinking faster than scientists realized, with the ...

A new decades-long study of oceanographic conditions provides new evidence that deep-ocean heat has moved closer to Antarctica, threatening the ice shelves that fringe the continent. Researchers at UC ...

One of the ocean currents in the Arctic Ocean is at risk of disappearing this century because of climate change, according to a new joint study from the University of Gothenburg and the German Alfred ...

New research from an international group looking at ancient sediment cores in the North Atlantic has for the first time shown a strong correlation between sediment changes and a marked period of ...

Beneath the surface of the Southern Ocean, vast volumes of cold, dense water plunge off the Antarctic continental shelf, cascading down underwater cliffs to the ocean floor thousands of metres below.
