Scientists discover a massive hidden ocean 400 miles down. This 6th ocean reservoir may hold 3x more water than the surface.

Icy moons circling the outer planets may be far more dynamic—and explosive—than they appear. New research suggests that when ...

Learn how bacteria inside marine snow may dissolve shell minerals and influence how the ocean stores carbon.

How could life exist on Jupiter’s icy moon, Europa? This is what a recent study published in The Planetary Science Journal hopes to address as a pair of researchers investigated how Europa’s ice shell ...

The Denmark Strait waterfall is over three times taller than Angel Falls. Its cold, dense water drives ocean currents, sustains marine life and regulates climate globally.

Researchers found that accounting for climate impacts on marine ecosystems and ocean-dependent infrastructure nearly doubles the social cost of carbon. The hidden ocean cost is estimated at $48 per ...

New research shows that some frozen moons may hide boiling oceans beneath their icy shells, shaping strange surface features.

Sharks rely on specific ocean features to find food and navigate their environment. Seamounts create strong currents that bring nutrients and baitfish toward the surface. This activity attracts large ...
