Os destroços do avião DC-4 "Clipper Endeavor" da Pan Am, desaparecido há 74 anos após cair no mar em 1952 e matar 52 pessoas, foram encontrados por exploradores. A busca, liderada por Russ Matthews, utilizou tecnologia avançada como sonares e inteligência artificial, impulsionada pela descoberta de uma etiqueta de bagagem em 2019.
Destroços do Clipper Endeavor, um DC-4 da Pan Am que caiu em 1952 com 69 pessoas após decolar de Porto Rico, foram localizados a 610 metros de profundidade por uma equipe usando um drone submarino. O acidente foi um marco para a segurança da aviação.
Scientists have filmed live goblin sharks in their natural deep-sea habitat for the first time, expanding the species' known range and pushing its depth limit by nearly 700 meters. The discoveries, made near Jarvis Island and the Tonga Trench, offer new insights into these rare 'living fossils'.
Scientists have filmed live goblin sharks in their natural deep-sea habitat for the first time, expanding the species' known range and pushing its depth limit by nearly 700 meters. The discovery, published in the Journal of Fish Biology, involved two separate sightings in the Pacific Ocean.
The latest IUCN Red List reveals many species, including deep-sea molluscs and the desert rain frog, are threatened by human activities like deep-sea mining and diamond mining. Conservation efforts have helped the numbat rebound, but five Australian marsupials are now extinct.
China’s maritime rescue authorities have expanded their deep sea search and rescue operations beyond 4,000 metres, according to People’s Daily. The development, credited to hi-tech equipment including underwater drones and deep-towed systems capable of operating at depths up to 6,000 metres, marks what state media called the formal transition of China’s transport rescue and salvage forces to practical deep-water operations. The South China Sea has an average depth of 1,212 metres and reaches a maximum of 5,559 metres.
China’s maritime rescue authorities have expanded their ability to carry out deep sea search and rescue operations beyond 4,000 metres (13,100 feet), according to state media. People’s Daily, the Communist Party mouthpiece, credited the development of hi-tech equipment for the shift, which it described as “marking the formal transition of China’s transport rescue and salvage forces” to being able to carry out practical operations at such depths. The Nanhai Rescue Bureau, the body responsible for...
China has enhanced its maritime search and rescue capabilities to operate at depths exceeding 4,000 metres, utilizing advanced underwater drones and deep-towed systems to support its expanding presence in deep and remote waters.
