The study [Iron’s irony: speciation, complexation & microbial processing of Fe in hydrothermal plumes, Communications Earth & Environment, Nature (open access)] synthesizes existing research and reinterprets it to explain how […]
The deal is done for the new underwater vehicle that will replace Ran, the submarine that was lost under a glacier in Antarctica in 2024. A large donation means that […]
The Planetary Instrument for X-ray Lithochemistry (PIXL) onboard the Perseverance rover has characterized the composition of Martian regolith at a scale of hundreds of microns using micro-focus X-ray fluorescence spectroscopy.
Researchers Quantify Rate Of Essential Evolutionary Process In Earth’s Ocean
Hydrogen-producing hydrothermal systems in the deep ocean are rare but critical to understanding Earth’s internal processes and the conditions that may have fostered life’s origins.
Ancient Antarctic microbial mats harbour viable bacteria that have been exposed to extreme cold and arid conditions for hundreds of years.
Beneath the deep sea at nearly 10,000 meters, a Chinese-led team has discovered vibrant communities of marine creatures that survive without sunlight, relying instead on chemical reactions for energy.
Editor’s note: When we start to mount Astrobiology missions to explore ocean worlds we’ll need ways for our robotic submersibles to observe and interat with whatever life forms they may […]
Viruses in the cold waters of the Arctic are strongly seasonal and are also detected in the Antarctic.
A world-first study led by Museums Victoria Research Institute has revealed that beneath the cold, dark, pressurised world of the deep sea, marine life is far more globally connected than […]
