🌋🌊 Deep-sea researchers from the #Ocean Exploration Trust discovered a unique "yellow brick road" formation on the Liliʻuokalani Ridge.
Located over 1,000 meters deep, the rectangular patterns are actually fractured hyaloclastite rock. The volcanic formation helps scientists understand the #marine #ecosystems within the Papahānaumokuākea Marine National Monument.

This week's #NewBooks at the library:
- I bought a bargain second-hand copy of The Rise and Fall of the Ediacaran Biota, published by the Geological Society
- To prove it's not all hardcore science here, I visited my friend's new bookshop in Brixham in Devon and snagged myself a copy of SenLinYu's Alchemised, published by Michael Joseph. If you're in the area, go check out Into the West Bookshop, tell them The Inquisitive Biologist sent you.
- Another second-hand bargain was Cold-Water Corals: The Biology and Geology of Deep-Sea Coral Habitats (yes, these exist!), published by Cambridge University Press.#Books #Bookstodon #Fossils #Paleontology #Palaeontology #Geology #EarthSciences #Corals #MarineBiology #DeepSea #Scicomm @bookstodon

The Chambered Nautilus is one of the oldest surviving marine species on Earth, with a lineage that dates back more than 500 million years. Long before dinosaurs existed, these creatures were already drifting through ancient oceans, and remarkably, they have changed very little since then.
Unlike octopuses or squids, the nautilus retains an external shell, divided into chambers that help control buoyancy.

The deepest trenches of the ocean have long been regarded as the last frontier on Earth because they are isolated, harsh, and mostly unexplored.

🌊🦑 Sperm #whales consume massive amounts of colossal #squid, but we have rarely seen these giant #animals alive in the deep #ocean.
Researchers are now using environmental #DNA to identify species by filtering genetic material directly from seawater samples. The process helps track known animals and search for unknown organisms.

This morning's #workout #music is from Estonian composer Arvo Pärt - who I have idolized since discovering him in the late 1980s through his ECM releases which were featured on the local college radio station. Peaceful music for troubled times.

New Scan of Titanic Wreck Reveals Secrets Hidden for a Century
The unsinkable ship in digital detail. Incredible new 3D mapping of the Titanic wreckage provides a hauntingly clear view of the debris field, offering fresh clues about the final moments before she slipped beneath the waves.

@pezmico Thanks! To summarise:
Videos analysed show 350 different corals and sponges, some >100 years old, on the sea plateau Lord Howe Rise. Deep-sea corals create habitats for thousands of other species. Vulnerable marine ecosystems should be comprehensively protected.

"Marine scientists drilling into abyssal ocean floor sediments discovered thriving colonies of this new #methanogen species at depths previously thought to be biologically inactive. These extreme environments, characterized by crushing pressure and complete darkness, harbor #microbial communities that have evolved unique metabolic pathways. According to research published in #NatureGeoscience, these #DeepSea methanogens can survive in conditions that would kill most known life forms.
"The discovery challenges everything scientists thought they knew about where life can exist in Earth’s oceans. These microbes don’t just survive in the deep ocean trenches, they’re actually flourishing and producing methane at industrial scales. Their metabolic processes operate entirely differently from surface-dwelling organisms, using chemical energy sources that most life forms can’t even process."

Japan hauls rare earth-rich mud from deep sea in bold test mission

Feburary 3, 2026"Japan’s own planners acknowledge the uncertainties. Jan briefings on the test mining plan stressed that, However, key aspects remain unknown, including the quality of the minerals and the economics of lifting and processing such vast volumes of mud. Mining the mud had previously been seen as too expensive compared with land-based deposits, and even with new technology, the cost of pumping, dewatering and refining the material at scale is still an open question. Analysts also point out that any move toward commercial production will face intense scrutiny from environmental regulators and coastal communities, who want clearer evidence on how sediment plumes, noise and habitat disruption will affect #DeepOcean #ecosystems around the site."

Under the sea, under the sea... tears have no meaning.
There's a comic series that we're sketching in ballpoint pen, no previous pencil studies, it's just... a challenge. And this is the cover, yay! (The cover was sketched, and it's of a better quality than the pages, because it's the cover)
But it can be interesting to read, for y'all! It's 100% experimental, and it will have some weird stuff in it. We hope do you like deep sea fish!

Imagine a creature swimming in the Arctic depths, born around the time of Shakespeare, that is still alive today. Meet the Greenland shark—nature's most incredible testament to patience and longevity.
A 2016 scientific breakthrough used radiocarbon dating on the sharks' eye lenses to reveal their astonishing lifespan. Researchers found these giants live for at least 272 years, with the largest studied shark estimated to be about 400 years old.
They grow incredibly slowly, only a few centimetres over many years, and don't even reach sexual maturity until they're roughly 150 years old. This makes them the oldest known vertebrates on our planet.
Let the Greenland shark remind you today that some of the most amazing things take time. Its centuries-long, slow-paced journey in the deep, dark ocean is a powerful symbol of resilience, survival, and the profound, quiet wonders of our natural world.#greenlandshark #naturewonder #marinelife #positivevibes #scienceisamazing #longevity #arcticocean #deepsea #conservation
