Scientists have revealed that a hidden mantle plume contributed to the formation of the King's Trough Complex, a vast underwater canyon system in the North Atlantic larger than the Grand Canyon. Located about 1,000 kilometers off Portugal's coast, this 500-kilometer structure resulted from tectonic rifting between Europe and Africa millions of years ago. The findings, based on rock samples and seafloor mapping, highlight how deep Earth processes influence ocean floor features.

An international team of researchers has developed a new system to identify and compare episodes of sudden underwater darkness, known as marine darkwaves, which threaten light-dependent marine ecosystems. These events, triggered by storms, sediment runoff, and algae blooms, can drastically reduce light to the seafloor for days or months. The framework aims to standardize monitoring of these disruptions worldwide.
