The United States Patent and Trademark Office has accepted a new method of deep-ocean, mobile desalination by Bob Evans and Susanne Chess that could revolutionize the production of freshwater. Significant energy savings are predicted as deep-ocean pressure does much of the work required to force saltwater through reverse osmosis filters. The process is natural. By operating below 900 ft., where

In a review published in the journal Molecular Ecology, scientists from the Department of Zoology at Oxford University examined all knowledge published to date of deep sea invertebrates. Their paper highlights the disparity between our basic knowledge of the ecology of deep sea animals and the growing impact of humans on the deep ocean. Over the last 30 years there have
