Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) images (Fig. 2d) show the surface profiles after removal of microorganisms from the surface. Whereas the surface morphology before degradation (original) was very smooth, the surfaces of the samples after placement on the shore or the deep-sea floor were ...
It is generally not possible to obtain radiometric ages on the sea floor lavas themselves, since they have suffered extensive alteration and argon does not completely outgas at deep ocean floor pressures. Absolute ages are generally correlated to magnetic anomaly records by a two-step process: ...

Internal solitary waves (ISWs) can cause strong vertical and horizontal currents and turbulent mixing in the ocean. These processes affect sediment and pollutant transport, acoustic transmissions and man-made structures in the shallow and deep oceans. Previous studies of the role of ISWs in suspendi...
Ocean scientists have known since the 1960s that some coral life was present off the Atlantic Coast. But the reef's exact size had remained a mystery. New underwater mapping technology made it possible to construct images of the ocean floor in three dimensions. ...
repair in the North Cape after being hit by debris from the munitions ship, Olive Branch, which exploded after being torpedoed by U-28. Sadly — as in so many of these cases — the truth of this tale, along with the remains of the Iberian, may forever be lost on the ocean floor. ...
A sled connected to a vessel is towed over the ocean floor. The sled is supported by spaced apart runners that mount an upwardly open container in which particles to be harvested are collected as the sled is drawn forwardly by the vessel. A cable extends from the vessel to the container ...
The Batfishis a bizarre little bottom-dweller that looks like he's wearing lip stick. Though they aren't great swimmers, batfish have little appendages that allow them to walk around on the ocean floor, where they often hide in the sand and lure prey into their mouths. ...
