Studies of sediment cores from the sea floor and the coastal regions surrounding the Aegean Sea show that humans contaminated ...

Use precise geolocation data and actively scan device characteristics for identification. This is done to store and access ...

A new study led by UVic postdoctoral fellow Graham Epstein, suggests that marine protected areas (MPAs) could play a key role in preserving seabed carbon storage to help combat climate change.

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

Standard topological mapping using acoustic sensors struggles with the relatively faint signals that bounce off soft seafloor sediments and the distortions of seawater. As a result, it was once ...

Learn about the Borealis Mud Volcano on the Arctic seafloor and its role in maintaining biodiversity, which is driven by ...

Setting out to study how these cultures treated their Aegean environments in turn, a team of researchers sampled a series of sediment cores from the sea’s coasts and seafloor. Analyzing 14 separate ...

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 ...

Professor Andrew Sweetman and his colleagues set out to measure seafloor respiration but instead stumbled upon a hidden ecosystem capable of producing oxygen. The most crucial ...

The Bird's Foot Delta, a crucial ecological and economic hub, faces an uncertain future amid rising seas and dwindling sediment.
