Loggerhead turtles “dance” when exposed to food-associated magnetic fields, and their magnetic map may help them return to specific areas after long migrations.

Sea turtles have long mystified researchers by returning to beaches where they were hatched, magnetic signals may be the key, new research finds.

An ocean may in time develop from a rift in the Afar Triangle, in the Horn of Africa, which will be very close to America predict scientists (around five to ten million years from now). This rare, ...

At the top of the world, there is a sea—the remains of one, at least. The summit rocks of Mount Everest, the highest ...

These forecasts are calculated using a full 3D ocean model. Ocean currents describe the movement of water from one location to another. They mix our oceans by transporting water long distances and ...

There seems to be too much of a radioactive element in rocks deep in the Pacific Ocean – how did it get there 10 million ...

The oceans are mostly composed of warm salty water near the surface over cold, less salty water in the ocean depths. These two regions don't mix except in certain special areas, which creates a large ...

The field encompasses ocean circulation, energy dissipation, marine biology, ecology, biogeochemical cycles, water mass formation and movement, ocean temperature and salinity, and marine carbon ...

Scientists are studying Saturn's moon Titan to assess its tidal dissipation rate, the energy lost as it orbits the ringed planet with its massive gravitational force. Understanding tidal dissipation ...

By Gwynne Dyer - With the sole exception of the 50 people on Pitcairn Island, the United Kingdom (once known as the British Empire) liquidated its holdings in the Pacific Ocean long ago.
