A new study has revealed that changes in the ocean floor impacts currents, giving new insight into the deep-sea pathways of nutrients and pollutants. The study, published in Nature Geoscience by ...

Ocean currents are driven by surface winds ... These regions are the primary source of mixing between warmer surface waters and colder deep waters, which ordinarily remain separate.

Similarly, heat and carbon dioxide contained in deep-ocean currents are sequestered from the atmosphere until the water rises back the surface, many years later. Similar flows in the North ...

The boundary between the ocean and the atmosphere, where the air and sea interact, is known as the sea surface microlayer.

In total, ocean currents transfer about 25 per cent ... sinks near Antarctica or Greenland to return to the surface after filling the deep ocean waters around the whole globe.

Did deep sea mining start with CIA plot? An array of instruments was positioned nearby to measure how far these clouds were carried on the currents ... them up to the surface.

Coordinated teams of self-driving vehicles, both above and below the water, will scan and map vast areas of unexplored seabed. Japanese researchers are working toward mapping the country’s vast ...
