A riotous photography collection from a recent underwater mission off the coast of Chile shows new and fascinating deep-sea ...

It’s a good day to be a marine biologist: a bundle of new species has been found living among the deep-sea methane seeps off Costa Rica’s Pacific coast. Scientists led by UC San Diego’s ...

This new species of annelid worm was found in deep sea sediments near methane seeps off the Pacific coast of central America. Anguillosyllis have an interesting evolutionary placement within Syllidae ...

Her PhD research at the Oregon Institute of Marine Biology concerned the reproduction and recruitment dynamics of a methane-fueled seep mussel. Dr. Allison Boyer – A post-doctoral fellow at Yale and ...

The facility will provide support for the study of the development of cold seeps ecosystems, chemotrophic biological succession, methane phase evolution, and their environmental effects.

The scientists will use a permanent monitoring network at the station to track methane movements, ecological data, and tectonic activity in a particularly large “cold seep” zone. These zones ...

"Cold seeps hold keys to understanding Earth's carbon cycle, life in extreme environments and the safe extraction of resources such as methane hydrates," said Li Chaolun, director of the South ...
