Thanks to the Monterey Bay Aquarium and their research and technology partner MBARI for partnering with us on this episode of SciShow. They worked together on an exhibition, “Into The Deep: Exploring Our Undiscovered Ocean,” to give...

The ocean is the largest ecosystem on Earth, but it's still mostly unexplored. This is partially due to the challenges of ocean exploration, like bone-crushing pressure and the need to bring your own air. But here are five ways that...

We've been learning a whole lot about the ocean lately, so we thought it might be fun to put all that knowledge to use with a fun project! Join us as we make an ocean in a jar and learn a little more about the different ocean zones!

The Carbon Impact of the World’s Largest Mass Migration

Marine species have developed weird and wonderful adaptations to allow them to live at depths far below where sunlight can reach. Biology - Ecosystems - Learning Points. Over 200m below the surface of the sea, photosynthesis no longer...

A project jointly funded by NASA and the National Science Foundation is heading west from Seattle, straight for the twilight zone. Using two research vessels, the Export Processes in the Ocean from Remote Sensing (EXPORTS)...
