The Ocean Observatories Initiative has been collecting data on physical, chemical, geological and biological conditions in the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans for the past decade

A look at the quest to mine the bottom of the ocean for valuable minerals, the connection between light pollution and allergies and more climate news.

Deep Sea Minerals (CSE:SEAS,OTCQB:DSEAF) said on Monday (June 1) that it has cleared a key regulatory hurdle in its bid to secure deep-sea mining rights under American law. The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) said the firm's exploration license application under the Deep Seabed Hard Mineral Resources Act (DSHMRA) is in

Scientists warn deep-sea mining recovery depends on habitat, and some losses in vents and seamounts may be irreversible.

A mining company sent an advanced ship to try to vacuum up valuable minerals from the deep ocean. Here’s how it worked.

The world needs vast amounts of critical minerals to power electric vehicles, batteries and the transition away from fossil fuels. Increasingly, attention is turning to the deep ocean, where metal-rich polymetallic nodules containing nickel,

Therefore, it is no surprise that people have found some truly strange things when exploring them. From ancient statues to war artifacts to weird underwater life forms, here are the strangest things found by deep-sea divers.

Strange living communities found in rocks at the deepest parts of the ocean have astonished scientists around the world.

Deep below the Tyrrhenian Sea offshore Italy, scientists drilled into what they thought would be dark mantle rock—and found pieces of granite that seemingly had no business being there. Those unexpected intrusions turned out to offer a rare glimpse of how a massive fault rapidly pulled deep Earth rocks toward the surface during the opening of a young ocean basin.
