Deep below the Earth's surface, magma is churning and flowing into the Axial Seamount, an underwater shield volcano about 300 miles off the coast of Oregon. As the volcano grows and tremors ...

Axial Seamount—the most active volcano in the northeast Pacific Ocean—is located less than 300 miles off the coast of Oregon. It last erupted in 1998, 2011 and 2015. Now, with the seamount's ...

An undersea volcano off Oregon's coast will probably erupt in 2025, scientists say. The volcano, known as Axial, is a seamount 300 miles (480 kilometers) west of Cannon Beach, Oregon. The Axial ...

thousands of years old make up just a few of the life forms at this new seamount. When scientists say that we know less about our oceans than about outer space, they’re not exaggerating.

Scientists use this information to make inferences about seafloor features that influence sea surface level by affecting marine gravity (e.g., sea level is higher over a seamount). Over the past ...

A newly-deployed satellite has created the most-detailed map yet of the ocean floor, finding hundreds of hills and underwater volcanoes that were previously missed. When you purchase through links ...

The team used SWOT data to transform what may have resembled blurry blobs into discernible seamounts, ridges and troughs. They compared SWOT data to 30 years’ worth of data from traditional altimetry ...

Axial Seamount sits under the Pacific Ocean about 300 miles from the U.S. coast. Since 1997, scientists have kept a careful eye on it using instruments that measure pressure on the ocean floor. Data ...

“For months, the iceberg was trapped in a Taylor Column, an oceanographic phenomenon where rotating water above a seamount traps objects in place,” BAS said. “This dynamic kept A23a spinning ...

Using satellite altimetry data from SWOT, scientists have created a global map of marine gravity, uncovering thousands of new seamounts. (Eötvös is a unit that measures the ocean’s vertical ...
