Scientists have discovered an active methane seep from Antarctica's sea bed that could shed light on the potent greenhouse gas trapped beneath frozen continent. Marine ecologist Andrew Thurber ...

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 ...

Seemingly unaware of the film Deep Blue Sea and countless B-movie tropes, China is set to build a new deep-sea laboratory that will be crewed by a team of resident scientists. In a recent announcement ...

Methane emissions from Arctic wetlands, permafrost, and geological seeps are well known. However, until now, the role of glacial meltwater in mobilising methane had been largely overlooked.

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 ...

The Research Facility of Cold-seep Ecosystems, led by the South China Sea Institute of Oceanology under the Chinese Academy of Sciences, is scheduled for completion within five years.

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.

Methane emissions from Arctic wetlands, permafrost, and geological seeps are well known. However, until now, the role of glacial meltwater in mobilising methane had been largely overlooked.

The work is published in the journal Biogeosciences. Methane emissions from Arctic wetlands, permafrost, and geological seeps are well known. However, until now, the role of glacial meltwater in ...
