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 ...

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 ...

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 realised we’d found something exceptional: dark oxygen – oxygen that’s produced without sunlight.

Some scientists think so, but others have challenged the claim that so-called “dark oxygen” is being produced in the lightless abyss of the seabed. The discovery — detailed last July in the ...

Metallic nodules found deep in the sea seem to be producing significant amounts of oxygen by some unknown mechanism, researchers revealed last year. Now, we may have found out how it is happening ...
