Scientists have developed a novel solution to mapping the southern hemisphere’s deep ocean which they hope will fill gaps in knowledge around the species and habitats it contains.

The ocean's color has changed significantly over the last 20 years, and the global trend is likely a consequence of human-induced climate change, report scientists at MIT, the National Oceanography Center in the U.K., and elsewhere.

OceanGate said in a statement Thursday that all five passengers of its Titan submersible that went missing Sunday during a visit to the 1912 wreck of the Titanic are believed to be dead.

The delivery includes 96 pumps that will pump huge amounts of water to create ocean currents in the research facility's basin.

The parties will work together to advance the field of ocean science, and obtain a complete map of the entire ocean floor.

In a new study in Environmental Science & Technology, one team used computer modeling to study how far bits of lightweight plastic travel when falling into the Mediterranean Sea.

A81 broke off Antarctica's Brunt Ice Shelf in February after being weakly tethered to the mainland for years, according to The British Antarctic Survey.

Members will explore data sharing challenges and opportunities to develop solutions and best practices for making private-sector ocean data publicly available

Seabed mining could soon begin in the deep ocean—but the potential impact on animals including whales is unknown, researchers have warned.

New information about an emerging technique that could track microplastics from space has been uncovered by researchers at the University of Michigan.

The UK’s new polar ship RRS Sir David Attenborough begins its polar science trials in Antarctica this week.

For now, ocean energy has been largely untapped in the Philippines despite the apparent potential of the power source because of the scarcity of available technologies.
