The Tollund Man was c. 30-40 years old when he died by hanging c. 405-380 BCE. He wasfound in 1950 in a bog c. 10 km west of ...

Scientists discovered three new species of sea spiders that live near the ocean floor and feast on bacteria that convert ...

This previously unknown symbiotic relationship helps keep methane—a major greenhouse gas—trapped in the ocean.

Nature finds a way. Even in the most inhospitable conditions on Earth, life figures out how to not only survive but flourish.

UC San Diego Scripps Institution of Oceanography professor emerita Lisa Levin is set to explore the poorly understood deep-sea ecosystems surrounding methane seeps off the coast of Southern California ...

Every day, methane gas seeps from Pacific Northwest landfills and it's estimated about 30% of today’s global warming is driven by methane. Heather Kuoppamaki, senior environmental engineer at ...

In these stretches of river, dissolved methane concentrations are extremely high: up to 350 times greater than trace concentrations upriver, away from the methane seep.

Spider-like creatures living near methane seeps on the seafloor appear to cultivate and consume microbial species on their bodies that feed on the energy-rich gas. This expands the set of organisms ...

Scientists on the US West Coast say they discovered three previously unknown species of deep-sea spider that could have a rare diet fueled by a common greenhouse gas.

Both types of seeps host rich marine habitats in the dark realms of coastal waters. Methane seeps, which form in sediments near shores along the coastal margins, are one of the most common cold seeps.

Scientists from Scripps Institution of Oceanography descended thousands of meters where they likely discovered dozens of new animal species. Creatures flourish where methane gas seeps into the ...

Scientists found that rapidly retreating Arctic glaciers are triggering the release of methane, a potent greenhouse gas that causes global temperatures to rise, into the atmosphere.
