Oceanography

A study published in the journal "Scientific Reports" has revealed the history of the "Rio Grande Rise" in the Atlantic Ocean. Researchers found that this area, now submerged hundreds of meters below sea level, was once land with a tropical climate.

Researchers from the University of Delaware are equipping sharks with sensors to measure ocean temperature, depth, and salinity. The project aims to gather data that will improve hurricane intensity forecasts before they reach the US coast.

While many dream of space exploration, the deep sea remains largely a mystery. Four decades after the last US underwater research lab, private company DEEP is launching the sophisticated Vanguard station, enabling scientists to live and work beneath the waves.
