Frequently Asked Questions
How often is content updated?+
New articles are added on a rolling basis, typically several times per month. Older articles are periodically reviewed and revised when significant new research becomes available.
Where does the information come from?+
We rely on peer-reviewed literature, published expedition reports, and public data releases from institutions such as GEBCO, NOAA, JAMSTEC, MBARI, and the Schmidt Ocean Institute. We avoid speculation and clearly distinguish established science from ongoing debate.
