Sand waves flow behind Jack Stauss, repeatedly rolling and breaking near a debris-heavy section of the river as he discusses sediment-related phenomena in Lake Powell. “That’s the delta making itself ...

Scientists have discovered giant mud waves buried deep below the Atlantic Ocean around 250 miles off the coast of Guinea-Bissau, a country in west Africa. Made of mud and sand, these massive ...

Tidal sand waves are a key geomorphological feature of shallow, sandy continental shelves, generated by the interplay of tidal currents, non-tidal hydrodynamic processes, and sediment dynamics. These ...

Heriot-Watt scientists have discovered giant underwater mud waves buried deep below the Atlantic Ocean, 400 kilometers off the coast of Guinea-Bissau in west Africa. The massive underwater sediment ...

Researchers reviewed ocean floor samples collected during the Deep Sea Drilling Project in 1975. According to geologists at the UK’s Heriot Watt University, gigantic waves of mud and sand sediment ...

The Atlantic Ocean is a massive body of water that is so huge that it seems like it must have always been there, but that is not actually the case. Millions of years ago, the supercontinent Pangaea ...

After several larger-scale sea-floor images highlighting tectonic features, I'm going to zoom in a bit for today's Sea-Floor Sunday and show you some very cool geomorphological features that develop ...

In an age of rising sea levels, as polar ice sheets melt in a climate warmed by fossil fuel emissions, climate modelers are racing to understand what the future might hold for coastlines around the ...

Every day huge, underwater waves surge and ebb far outside the rims of continents. Flowing much faster than the visible tides, these “internal tides” usually don’t make it to the surface or close to ...
