A new glowing nudibranch species is the first known to swim through the ocean’s midnight zone and has unique adaptations for life in this environment.

An international team of researchers used MBARI’s advanced underwater technology to document how melting permafrost and new ice formation contribute to the dramatic underwater landscape in a remote area of the Arctic.

Data from MBARI’s advanced underwater robots point to erosion during intermittent sediment flows as the mechanism maintaining these circular depressions for hundreds of thousands of years.

FathomVerse combines immersive imagery, engaging gameplay, and cutting-edge science to help improve the artificial intelligence tools needed to study marine life and assess ocean health.

MBARI’s advanced technology offers new insight into the “Octopus Garden” off Central California, the largest aggregation of octopus on Earth.

Mapping gene linkages provides clear-cut evidence for comb jellies as sibling group to all other animals

FathomNet can help train and test computer machine-learning tools to accelerate analysis of ocean images and video.

Tracking blue whales by their booming vocalizations, researchers have revealed how these ocean giants find dense aggregations of food.

Autonomous underwater robots carrying MBARI technology use eDNA to survey biodiversity.

Repeated mapping of the Arctic seabed finds rapid changes to seafloor terrain from the degradation of submarine permafrost.

During an expedition this summer, MBARI recovered the ancient tusk of a mammoth for further study.

A robotic rover has provided long-term data about deep-sea carbon cycling and climate change.

MBARI makes its extensive archive of acoustic data accessible to researchers around the world via the Amazon Web Services cloud.

MBARI researchers demonstrated how a fleet of robotic floats can revolutionize our understanding of ocean primary productivity.

On Wednesday, June 30, at 11:00 a.m. (Pacific), MBARI will livestream its expedition to deep-sea coral and sponge gardens off Big Sur coast.

MBARI is embarking on a new chapter in its ocean research with the construction of a state-of-the-art ship named in honor of MBARI's founder.

Using advanced echosounders, MBARI researchers are measuring the distribution, abundance, type, size, and movement of predators and their prey in the deep sea.

MBARI oceanographer John Ryan and his colleagues discovered that whale sharks swim across the Eastern Tropical Pacific following fronts—dynamic boundaries between warm and cold ocean waters.

A new paper by MBARI researchers shows that filter-feeding animals called giant larvaceans can collect and consume microplastic particles, potentially carrying microplastics to the deep seafloor.

Despite their close proximity, two recently discovered hydrothermal vent fields in the Gulf of California host very different animal communities. This finding contradicts a common scientific assumption that neighboring vents will share similar animal communities.
