“It’s a paradox. The deep sea is highly connected, but also incredibly fragile,” said Dr. O’Hara. “Understanding how life is distributed and moves through this vast environment is essential if we want ...

Discover how the Dead Sea, Earth's lowest and saltiest lake, continues to build massive underground salt formations.

Ancient river landscapes buried beneath the East Antarctic Ice Sheet have been uncovered by radar, revealing vast, flat ...

People have long wondered what life was first like on Earth, and if there is life in our solar system beyond our planet.

In recent years, the frequency and intensity of extreme weather events—such as heat waves, droughts, and heavy rains—have been increasingly linked to rising sea surface temperatures (SST).

Sea surface temperatures are vital measurements that indicate the warmth of the ocean's top layer, influencing weather patterns, climate, and marine ecosystems.

Australia’s sea surface temperatures were the warmest on record last year, according to a snapshot of the nation’s climate which underscores the perilous state of the world’s oceans. The ...

A generalized probability density function (pdf) is introduced to enhance sea surface slope modeling for remote sensing applications. This new pdf, which incorporates the anisotropy index to better ...

The new sea surface model applies to a wider range of sea surface states, including those in coastal environments, and provides a stable quantitative description of sea surface topography.

Wozniak said the sea surface microlayer is a unique micro-environment. “It accumulates organic material of a certain kind and then it reaches the air-sea interface and accumulates there, and that ...
