Seemingly unaware of the film Deep Blue Sea and countless B-movie tropes, China is set to build a new deep-sea laboratory ...

As global temperatures rise, the thawing of lake ice could accelerate the release of methane, a potent greenhouse gas, into the atmosphere. Credit: Lei Wang A recent study reveals that methane ...

Seep, an eco-friendly cleaning tools brand based in London, has been named one of eight winners of the Sky Zero Footprint Fund: Local Heroes initiative. The business will receive a £20,000 TV ...

As methane migrates from subsurface sediments to the seafloor, it can become trapped as solid hydrates in cold seep environments, preventing its release into the ocean and atmosphere. This study ...

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.

Our quantitative evidence of images and TV grab data revealed the number, body length, biomass, and distribution of the dominant species living in the cold seep area at Site F. Combined with porewater ...

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

The hybrid design is intended to allow long-term, high-precision studies of cold-seep ecosystems — unique biological communities that thrive in darkness and under extreme pressure, where methane and ...

A cold seep is a region on the ocean floor where hydrogen sulfide, methane and other hydrocarbon-rich fluid seep out. These areas are a birthplace for life that can thrive under extreme conditions.

These are places on the ocean floor from where hydrocarbon or methane-rich fluids seep upwards. These cold seeps create a gaseous environment which is primarily responsible for the sustenance of ...
