Traces of organisms detected in sediments from 7.5 kilometers below the ocean surface reveal how organisms living in the deep sea are engineering their own environments. Analyses of sediment cores ...

New scans of the bottom of the Japan Trench reveal extensive burrow structures and evidence of regular "reset" events that ...

Organisms in the deep sea rely on gravity flows to lay down sediment and then make burrows beneath the seafloor, according to a new study.

Deep-sea sediment cores are vital to our understanding of the past and present oceans. They record the geological history of the ocean basins, providing evidence for changing climates, emerging ...

The contents of three large metal cases have changed our understanding of life under the ocean. Inside were vials of sediment ...

A first-of-its-kind global assessment has revealed 603 wild animals plus five livestock taxa that do more than just inhabit ...

The contents of three large metal cases have changed our understanding of life under the ocean. Inside were vials of sediment hauled up from a record 8km below the surface of the Pacific Ocean.

Our two labs help process and analyze sediment samples and sediment cores collected from terrestrial, lake, and marine environments. We perform chemical and physical analyses on sediments and other ...

Studies of sediment cores from the sea floor and the coastal regions surrounding the Aegean Sea show that humans contaminated the environment with lead early on in antiquity. A research team led ...

Deep-sea mining may irreparably harm ocean ecosystems before we even have a chance to ... The materials are pumped up to the ship, while wastewater and debris are dumped into the ocean, forming large ...
