Organisms in the deep sea rely on gravity flows to lay down sediment and then make burrows beneath the seafloor, according to a new study.

Marine sediments are extremely diverse and cover the majority of the Earth's surface. By stirring up and churning the ...

The study of acoustic properties of seafloor sediments is crucial for understanding marine environments, as these properties influence underwater sound propagation, sediment characterization ...

These probes will gather new data, collecting samples of water and seafloor sediments in an effort to confirm the dark oxygen theory once and for all.

Sediments with high oxygen demand, such as in nearshore or high-sedimentation areas, contribute disproportionally to benthic N removal, despite covering only a small portion of the lake floor. These ...

They used the Shinkai 6500 manned research submersible and equipment that can dive to great depths to sample seafloor sediments at seven locations in 2019. The sites were around 1,000 meters deep ...

conditions similar to some modern environments found on the seafloor, especially within sediments. Understanding the energy and carbon sources used by this foraminifer helps us to answer questions ...

The ocean plate was once the seafloor of Neotethys — an ocean that formed when the supercontinent Pangaea broke up into a ...

The findings suggest that as the Nadir asteroid struck, it liquefied the seafloor sediments and unleashed towering tsunamis.

Studies of sediment cores from the sea floor and the coastal regions surrounding the Aegean Sea show that humans contaminated the environment with lead early on in antiquity. A research team led ...
