The Atacama Trench, located off the coast of Peru and Chile, is one of the deepest oceanic regions on our planet, and ...

The curious minds at Aperture question common assumptions about the ocean’s largest trash zone and what we truly know about it.

Subduction zones, where one tectonic plate dives underneath another, drive the world's most devastating earthquakes and tsunamis. How do these danger zones come to be? A study in Geology presents ...

The deepest point of the ocean – the Mariana Trench – is 11,034 metres deep. It’s located in the western part of the Pacific Ocean and is a 1,580-mile-long stretch (2,542 kilometres) of ...

The Atacama Trench, located off the coast of Peru and Chile, has become the focal point of an extraordinary new discovery. One of the deepest parts of the ocean, this region has long intrigued ...

The climate crisis poses a threat to the rich biodiversity of life that exists in the ocean’s twilight zone, which exists just beyond the reach of sunlight. Life in this region could be reduced ...

Scientists had determined that ocean acidification enters this danger zone or crosses this planetary boundary when the amount ...

As the most seismically active regions in the world, oceanic subduction zones show contrasting seismicity in different regions. A review by a team from Nanjing University explored the ...

The team examined the chemical composition of ocean sediments near today’s largest ocean dead zone, located in the eastern Pacific Ocean. The team obtained sediment samples—the “history books” of ...

Currently, scientists can do little to fix oceanic dead zones. In smaller bodies of water, such as lakes and reservoirs, managers can pump oxygen-rich water from the surface into oxygen-poor deep ...
