During the last ice age, the Atlantic Ocean’s powerful current system remained active and continued to transport warm, salty water from the tropics to the North Atlantic despite extensive ice cover ...

A human-occupied vehicle (HOV) probing the deep Pacific Ocean has cast a light upon a massive undersea 'metropolis'. The tortuous system of deep craters and dolomite walls blows the Atlantic Ocean's ...

The ocean is continuously ventilated when surface waters sink and transport, for example, oxygen and carbon to greater depths. The efficiency of this process can be estimated using the so-called water ...
