The discovery of this deep-sea oxygen, dubbed "dark oxygen," is the first time scientists have ever observed oxygen being generated without the involvement of organisms and challenges what we know ...

Dark oxygen discovered in the Clarion-Clipperton Zone The post Dark Oxygen Discovered: A Game-Changer in Deep-Sea Science appeared first on weather-fox.com.

New research challenges a long-held assumption about oxygen in the deep sea, with scientists finding oxygen produced without photosynthesis in the Clarion-Clipperton Zone.

The discovery of “dark oxygen”, oxygen produced deep under the surface of the sea, is shining a light on the potential risks of deep-sea mining for metals and minerals.

Mining of rare metals on deep sea and ocean floors miles below the surface could create "dark oxygen" and also cause potentially harmful changes to the marine ecosystem, according to new research.

A new study published in the journal Nature Geoscience found evidence of oxygen production near polymetallic nodules located deep in the ocean. Called dark oxygen, this oxygen is being produced ...

The research team used deep-sea chambers that land on the seafloor and enclose the seawater, sediment, polymetallic nodules, and living organisms. They then measured how oxygen levels changed in ...

Ocean scientist Andrew Sweetman discovered unexpected oxygen production at 4,000 meters deep in the Pacific Ocean, challenging existing beliefs about deep-sea oxygen cycling. Moneycontrol News ...

Could lumpy metallic rocks in the deepest, darkest reaches of the ocean be making oxygen in the absence of sunlight? Some scientists think so, but others have challenged the claim that so-called ...
