Led by the University of Delaware’s Andrew Wozniak, associate professor in the School of Marine Science and Policy, a team of scientists recently witnessed a rare seafloor eruption 1,300 miles west of ...

Making matters worse, nearly two-thirds of all visual seafloor observations have taken place within 200 nautical miles of just three nations: the U.S., Japan, and New Zealand.

Of central concern are the plumes of sediment that mining would create, both at the seafloor and at depths around 1,000 meters, which have “some of the clearest ocean waters,” said Jeffrey ...

Young critters from above the seafloor could be traveling through the vents to settle in the depths, Gollner said. The research published Tuesday in the journal Nature Communications.

Scientists probing the bottom of the Pacific Ocean made a surprising discovery: animals living underneath the seafloor in an area with volcanic activity. Giant tubeworms, which are known as the ...

A slab of seafloor that was around when Earth’s earliest known dinosaurs emerged has been discovered underneath the Pacific Ocean. It has seemingly hovered there in a kind of mid-dive for more ...

Scientists have uncovered communities of animals such as tube worms and snails living in volcanic caves beneath the seafloor, revealing a previously unknown but thriving ecosystem. Researchers ...
