A sweeping new study has unveiled a global map of marine mollusks that reflects not just present-day ocean conditions but ...

Now, researchers at the Heriot-Watt University have traced its formation event using 117-million-year-old “underwater mud waves.” The mud waves were found in the Atlantic, some 400 km (248 ...

Biogeographical regions of marine organisms, i.e., their distribution across different habitats, often overlap well with the major global ocean currents. The geological age of the currents plays a ...

Heriot-Watt scientists have discovered giant underwater mud waves buried deep below the Atlantic Ocean, 400 kilometers off the coast of Guinea-Bissau in west Africa.
