The European Space Agency’s Mars Express has finally returned with some strong evidence of Martian oceans. Using its MARSIS radar, it detected sediments reminiscent of…
By using simplified lab models, researchers at UCLA have developed a 30-minute film that demonstrates the large-scale fluid dynamics occurring in the oceans and atmosphere….
New research from an international team of scientists challenges the claim that the world’s oceans are experiencing increases in jellyfish due to human activities such…
Researchers studying the effects of climate change on coral reefs at One Tree Island found that sea cucumbers play a vital role in reducing the…
Last year, surfers were surprised at the amount of stinging moon jellyfish, some of which reached the size of bicycle wheels, which washed towards shore…
A team of researchers comprised of climate modelers, marine conservationists, ocean chemists, biologists, and ecologists published their recent research into ocean acidity in the January…
Based on the samples provided by U.S. Navy deep sea submersible Alvin, USC microbiologists discovered that life continues at hydrothermal vents even after they go…
The recent NASA satellite image shows that La Niña is peaking in intensity, increasing the odds that the southern and southwestern United States will remain…
It’s a well-known fact that noises carry a lot further underwater than in the air, but recently marine biologists noticed that underwater noises might disturb…
Back in December, Sea Shepherd was using drones to track the Japanese whaling fleet, giving them an edge in stopping illegal whaling, but now the…
As one of the oldest species on the planet, Sharks have had millions of years of evolution to perfect their predator form, and now sharks…
Sometimes when looking at one aspect of science, researchers find another. When this happens, it can be science gold. In this case, a seismology tool…
