Scattered across an abyssal plain known as the Clarion-Clipperton Zone (CCZ) are polymetallic nodules that are a potato-sized ...

Dark oxygen discovered in the Clarion-Clipperton Zone The post Dark Oxygen Discovered: A Game-Changer in Deep-Sea Science ...

What is Dark Oxygen? Dark oxygen is a term for oxygen found in the deep sea, where it is produced by metal lumps ...

Dark oxygen is produced on the seafloor by a process other than photosynthesis. A new study published in Nature Geoscience in July 2024 suggests it’s unclear what causes dark oxygen, but a possible ...

It took me until 2021, when I measured oxygen production with a second method, that I realized we'd found something exceptional: dark oxygen—oxygen that's produced without sunlight. In the ...

It took me until 2021, when I measured oxygen production with a second method, that I realised we’d found something exceptional: dark oxygen – oxygen that’s produced without sunlight.

Scientists have made an exciting discovery of “dark oxygen” 4,000 meters below the Pacific Ocean. This oxygen forms without any sunlight in a region called the Clarion-Clipperton Zone.

It took me until 2021, when I measured oxygen production with a second method, that I realised we'd found something exceptional: dark oxygen – oxygen that's produced without sunlight.

A study analyzing these modules reveals that these rocky lumps are capable of producing “dark oxygen” 4,000 meters below sea level where light cannot reach. While this discovery could upend ...

It took me until 2021, when I measured oxygen production with a second method, that I realised we’d found something exceptional: dark oxygen – oxygen that’s produced without sunlight. In the summer of ...
