Scientists uncover air pollution 10,000 meters under the ocean’s floor
A patch of sea rubbish at sea within the Pacific Ocean. A research, led by Newcastle University’s Dr Alan Jamieson, has uncovered the primary proof that human-made pollution have now reached the farthest corners of our earth. Sampling amphipods from … Continue reading

Life in ancient oceans enabled by erosion from land
As scientists continue finding evidence for life in the ocean more than 3 billion years ago, those ancient fossils pose a paradox that raises questions about whether there was more land mass than previously thought. Geology News — ScienceDaily
Magnetic oceans and electric Earth
Oceans might not be thought of as magnetic, but they make a tiny contribution to our planet’s protective magnetic shield. Remarkably, ESA’s Swarm satellites have not only measured this extremely faint field, but have also led to new discoveries about … Continue reading

Scientists paint a detailed picture of the chemical structure of oceans 520 million years ago
Nautilus…first appeared approximately 500 million years ago during the Cambrian explosion, Ocean chemistry has strongly shaped the evolution of life and biogeochemical cycles on the Earth. Although it was known that the early oceans (>520 million years ago) were characterized … Continue reading
Nordic Seas cooled 500,000 years before global oceans
The cooling of the Nordic Seas towards modern temperatures started in the early Pliocene, half a million years before the global oceans cooled. A new study of fossil marine plankton demonstrates this. Paleontology News — ScienceDaily
Ancient oceans were exorbitantly expensive
(ANSAmed) – Rome, 19 NOV – the water of ancient oceans, especially the Atlantic was large, about twice what it is today is indicating research published in Nature and coordinated by the United States Geological Service. The discovery it has … Continue reading
