Using seismic stations usually used for monitoring earthquakes, an international team of geoscientists tracked Earth’s ...

Turbidity currents are an important natural process that often goes unnoticed: these powerful currents beneath the ocean ...

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

Humans have polluted the sea with lead for far longer than we realised, study shows - Scientists say signs of heavy metal pollution date all the way back to Ancient Greece ...

A research team led by Sam Purkis, a professor and chair of the Department of Marine Geosciences at the University of Miami, ...

Traces of organisms detected in sediments from 7.5 kilometers below the ocean surface reveal how organisms living in the deep sea are engineering their own environments. Analyses of sediment cores ...

Deep-sea sediment cores are vital to our understanding of the past and present oceans. They record the geological history of the ocean basins, providing evidence for changing climates, emerging ...

An international team of researchers has successfully captured the internal structure of the longest-runout sediment flow ever recorded on Earth. Using seismic measurements, the researchers have for ...

With a recent publication, NIOZ researchers have made the data from the SIBES research program from 2008 to 2021 available to ...

Parts of eastern San Rafael and Corte Madera are subsiding more than 0.4 inches per year, largely because sediment compaction ...

can best be answered through studies of the stratigraphy of deep-sea sediments, sampled in the manner just indicated. Recently, Dr. Piggot of the Carnegie Institution of Washington has obtained ...
