Foraminifera are single-celled marine organisms with a calcareous shell. They not only provide evidence of past habitats, but ...

In 1917, a civil engineer pioneered the first deep-sea vehicle to attempt filming underwater. A century later, we have James ...

It was in the background, hiding! The first-ever underwater discovery. Scientists make a chilling discovery at the bottom of ...

Using a remotely operated vehicle (ROV) at over a mile depth deployed from the research vessel OceanXplorer, the research team extracted sediment cores from a deep-sea brine pool in the Gulf of Aqaba, ...

Biodiversity is depleted and large furrows still lie in the seabed where deep-sea mining equipment operated more than 40 years ago, in findings that suggest it will take the deep sea multiple ...

For those in the sport of swimming today, the pool is often a place of solitude ... They said, ‘well, I only get my knee deep in water.’ So, there's some safety concerns, but it comes from a culture ...

Researchers used a remotely operated vehicle (ROV) at over a mile depth from the research vessel OceanXplorer, and extracted sediment cores from a deep-sea brine pool in the Gulf of Aqaba ...

Scientists believe that life on Earth may have first appeared in deep-sea conditions similar to those of these brine pools, which researchers have called "death traps". Researchers suggest that ...

"Deep-sea brine pools are a great analog for the early Earth and, despite being devoid of oxygen, are teeming with a rich community of so-called ‘extremophile’ microbes." This discovery is not just ...

The researchers suggest that these extreme environments mimic the harsh conditions of the planet's past, in this deep-sea location, where they believe life may have first originated. Brine pools ...

“Our current understanding is that life originated on Earth in the deep sea, almost certainly in anoxic – without oxygen – conditions,” Purkis explains, emphasizing that these brine pools ...
