The initiative that seeks to galvanise the creation of a full map of the ocean floor says one-fifth of this task has now been completed. When the Nippon Foundation-GEBCO Seabed 2030 Project was ...

Plans to map the entire ocean floor by 2030 are going ahead despite the challenges of the coronavirus crisis, officials leading the project said, with almost a fifth covered so far. Scientists say ...

The quest to compile the definitive map of Earth's ocean floor has edged a little nearer to completion. Modern measurements of the depth and shape of the seabed now encompass 20.6% of the total ...

It is here that new ocean floor is continuously created. As the two sides of the mountain move away from each other, magma wells up from the Earth's interior. It then solidifies into rock as it is ...

Nov. 8, 2024 — New research reveals for the first time how a major Antarctic ice shelf has been subjected to increased melting by warming ocean waters over the last four decades. Scientists say ...

Using data from the eROSITA All-Sky Survey, astronomers have created a 3D map of the low-density bubble of X-ray-emitting, million-degree hot gas that surrounds the solar system. The investigation ...

The discovery of a world-wide undersea mountain range that has a deep fissure down its center has suggested to some geologists that the earth may be slowly expanding rather than contracting ...

The recent project has deep sea researchers using a 7,055-pound robotic explorer named ROV SuBastian to roam and document the ocean floor off the coast of Chile, where deep marine vents emit ...

Thousands of tiny robots have helped scientists create the largest-ever 3D map of the universe. The universe is expanding all the time and this map measures how fast it's grown over 11 billion years.

The European Space Agency mission, launched in July 2023, will create the largest and most accurate 3D map of the cosmos yet to help answer enduring questions about the “dark side” of the ...

With the new 3D maps, they can make realistic predictions about what's happening inside an octopus arm to create these responses. There are also a lot of evolutionary questions Crook's lab is ...

Some of the studies describe 3D maps of the cells — known as cell atlases — in tumours, whereas others create ‘molecular clocks’ that trace the cellular changes that lead to cancer.
