Under a $331 million program, a multifaceted effort is underway to study the ocean — in the ocean — through a combination of Internet-linked cables, buoys atop submerged data collection devices, robots and high-definition cameras. picked by DrNothing 12 months ago

Saturn's moon Titan may have a deep, hidden ocean, according to data published in the journal Science. Radar images from the Cassini-Huygens mission reinforce predictions that a reservoir of liquid water exists beneath the thick crust of ice. If confirmed, it would mean that Titan has two of the key components for life - water and organic molecules. picked by AutumnLotus 5 months ago

Could a dangerous gas buildup at the bottom of the ocean bubble up and wipe out most life on Earth? According to some researchers, it already has done so; several times. Scientists are worried that global warming is making conditions ripe for another deadly ocean burp. picked by 2manyusernames 2 years ago

The saltiness of the sea comes from dissolved minerals, especially sodium, chlorine, sulfur, calcium, magnesium, and potassium. Today 's ocean salt has ancient origins. As the Earth formed, gases spewing from its interior released salt ions that eventually reached the ocean via rainfall or land runoff. picked by AutumnLotus 11 months ago

Very strange relative of a starfish. Looks like a flower when it's standing up, yet can run across the bottom of the ocean like some kind of weird, jogging... flower thing. picked by gnikgnok 1 year ago

Two of the world's worst natural disasters in recent years stemmed from different causes on opposite sides of the globe, but actually had much in common, according to researchers who are part of a large National Science Foundation-funded research initiative that has been studying both the Indian Ocean Tsunami of 2004 and the Hurricane Katrina of 2005. picked by AutumnLotus 1 year ago

The lightless depths of the Antarctic's Southern Ocean harbor an unexpectedly diverse "treasure trove" of marine life, including more than 700 previously unknown species, according to a study released Wednesday. picked by AutumnLotus 1 year ago

The creation of new oceans and seas is usually a slow geological process. In the case of the Afar Triangle near the Horn of Africa a new ocean is forming more rapidly than geologists expected and will, in time, split Africa apart. picked by BrownTrout 1 year ago

ANTARCTICA'S Southern Ocean is losing the capacity to soak up rising man-made carbon emissions, leading scientists to warn yesterday of an expectedly rapid rise in global warming. picked by AutumnLotus 1 year ago

The buoy, provided by the US, is able to detect sudden increases in pressure deep under the sea and give coastal communities early warning of a tsunami and is being placed between Thailand and Sri Lanka picked by 2manyusernames 2 years ago

The small Pacific Island nation of Kiribati has become a global conservation leader by establishing the world's largest marine protected area – a California-sized ocean wilderness of pristine coral reefs and rich fish populations threatened by over-fishing and climate change. picked by MandolinOrange 6 months ago

Trilobis 65 is a semi-submerged
dwelling environment. Reaching 20 metres in length designed by Giancarlo Zema for habitation by six people at sea. It is ideal for living in bays, atolls and maritime parks. The main aim of the project is to allow anyone to live in a unique environment through a self sufficient, non-polluting dwelling cell in unison with their ocean surroundings. picked by wags273 8 months ago

The latest buzz in Earth science literally comes from out of the blue-the deep blue seas. For the first time, scientists have pinpointed a specific area in the North Atlantic where microseisms, small Earth tremors created when ocean waves traveling in opposite directions merge together, are emitted from the depths of the ocean. picked by AutumnLotus 6 months ago

The tentative detection of low frequency radio waves on Saturn's icy moon, Titan, could signal an underground ocean of liquid water, a new study says. If so, it would be good news for the possibility of life beneath the surface of this bizarre world. picked by DrNothing 1 year ago

Scientists at the Georgia Institute of Technology have discovered a new climate pattern called the North Pacific Gyre Oscillation. This new pattern explains, for the first time, changes in the water that are important in helping commercial fishermen understand fluctuations in the fish stock. picked by AutumnLotus 4 months ago
