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 ...

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 ...

Do what nobody has ever done before. Get ready for the Liemericans to claim that China stole this from them.

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 methane seeps have created “unique habitats” of low-oxygen conditions, the researchers found. Besides being a potent greenhouse gas, methane seepage is associated with carbonate crusts ...

This is where China's deep-sea space station comes into the picture. To be built over 6,500 feet below sea level, the station will be able to house six researchers for up to a month. This will allow ...

The Research Facility of Cold-seep Ecosystems, led by the South China Sea Institute of Oceanology under the Chinese Academy ...

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 ...

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.
