Seabed

Recent deep-sea explorations have unveiled a remarkable ecosystem thriving beneath the Pacific Ocean's floor. Scientists deployed a remotely operated vehicle to investigate hydrothermal vent sites along the East Pacific Rise, where two tectonic plates diverge. Beneath the seafloor, they discovered cavities harboring giant tubeworms—the largest wo...

The National Institute of Ocean Technology (NIOT) has successfully conducted trials with the Varaha-3 seabed mining machine in the Andaman Sea, reaching depths of 1,193 metres. This innovative machine collected polymetallic nodules, rich in crucial metals such as nickel, cobalt, and copper, essential for renewable energy and electric vehicle indust...

Japan on Thursday ended its call for higher-than-usual risks of a major earthquake, one week after a strong tremor on the edge of the Nankai Trough seabed zone caused the government to issue its first-ever megaquake advisory.

Researchers believe audio signals captured at a hydroacoustic station off the coast of Australia could be key to locating MH370.

A submersible carrying five people to tour the wreck of the Titanic on the Atlantic seabed went missing on Sunday.

The mine was first discovered in June last year near the port on the Adriatic Sea.

The Coast Guard and Directorate of Revenue Intelligence (DRI) have seized nearly 18 kg of gold in the district, with a diving operation helping secure the yellow metal from the seabed.

At least 50 metres of the Nord Stream 1 pipeline has been destroyed or buried under the seafloor, following an explosion assumed to be from sabotage, underwater images published Tuesday showed.

Deep sea mining has recently received controversial approval, and experiments will soon begin at the bottom of the Pacific Ocean, according to a report in Newsweek.

The researchers have named the other crater as Nadir. It is more than 300 metres below the seabed, some 400 km off the coast of Guinea.

Turkey's newest park is an underwater museum of fourteen shipwrecks that lie beneath the waves of the Dardanelles Strait, a glimpse into the fierce battles between Ottoman and Allied forces in World War I.

Barge P305 which sank during Cyclone Tauktae fury six days ago was located on the seabed on Saturday, the Navy said, while it continued the search for 20 missing personnel from two vessels.

Divers scoured the seabed near Indonesia's capital Wednesday for the cockpit recordings of a crashed passenger plane, after investigators said it would be days before they could read the flight data recorder that had already been salvaged.

Archaeologists have for the first time found Aboriginal artefacts on the seabed off Australia, opening a door to the discovery of ancient settlements flooded since the last ice age, they reported Thursday.

Pilot David Ibbotson was flying Sala to his new Premier League club Cardiff City from his previous side in Nantes in France on January 21.
