An ocean scientist describes plans for an ‘internet of the ocean,’ with sensors and autonomous vehicles that can explore the deep sea and monitor its vital signs.

Prochlorococcus, the world’s most abundant photosynthetic organism, reveals a gene-transfer mechanism that may be key to its abundance and diversity.

Up to one-third of the carbon consumed by Prochlorococcus may come from sources other than photosynthesis.

Swirling waters replenish nutrients in open ocean, a new study finds, and could mitigate some climate change effects.

Harvard researchers take sea level fingerprints from theory to fact.

The device could help scientists explore unknown regions of the ocean, track pollution, or monitor the effects of climate change.

A new field study reveals a previously unobserved fluid dynamic process that is key to assessing impact of deep-sea mining operations.

Their swirling, clustering behavior might someday inform the design of self-assembling robotic swarms.

Their model’s predictions should help researchers improve ocean climate simulations and hone the design of offshore structures.

New findings may help researchers hone predictions for where phytoplankton will migrate with climate change.
