The oceanic "twilight zone" lies deep, and teems with life. We look at how this mysterious zone affects climate change.

The climate crisis poses a threat to the rich biodiversity of life that exists in the ocean’s twilight zone, which exists just beyond the reach of sunlight. Life in this region could be reduced ...

The twilight zone of the ocean is a mysterious place. At 200-1000 meters below the surface, it's a tough place to study. That's why, during World War II, people reading sonograms from this zone ...

Elephant seals are being used as nature's artificial intelligence to monitor the health of the oceans -- especially the little-known "twilight zone," an ecosystem abundant with fish that could ...

As we celebrate World Ocean Day, new research shows the role that the ocean twilight zone plays in keeping the planet healthy.

Widespread Ocean Darkening Is Shrinking The Sunlit Zone New satellite and modeling data analyzed by an international team of researchers show that a massive 75 million square kilometers of the ...

Future directions Our model finds that the transfer efficiency of organic carbon from the sunlit zone to the subsurface ocean is lower in regions with higher sea surface temperatures than in cold ...

The carbonate compensation depth — a zone where high pressure and low temperature creates conditions so acidic it dissolves shell and skeleton — could make up half of the global ocean by the ...

A few creatures visit the abyss from the sunlit zone -- one southern elephant seal was registered at a depth of 2,388 meters.
