The location of diapycnal mixing and the meridional overturning circulation [PDF]
, 2002 The large-scale consequences of diapycnal mixing location are explored using an idealized threedimensional model of buoyancy-forced flow in a single hemisphere. Diapycnal mixing is most effective in supporting a strong meridional overturning circulation (

Megafaunal Community Structure From the Abyssal to Hadal Zone in the Yap Trench
Frontiers in Marine Science, 2021 Hadal trenches remain one of the unexplored ocean ecosystems due to the challenges of sampling at great depths. It is still unclear how a faunal community changes from the abyssal to the hadal zone, and which environmental variables are the key impacting

New Opportunities and Untapped Scientific Potential in the Abyssal Ocean
Frontiers in Marine Science, 2022 The abyssal ocean covers more than half of the Earth’s surface, yet remains understudied and underappreciated. In this Perspectives article, we mark the occasion of the Deep Submergence Vehicle Alvin’s increased depth range (from 4500 to 6500 m) to ...

Geophysical Monograph Series, Page 305-323., 2021 Exploring the links between Large Igneous Provinces and dramatic environmental impact
An emerging consensus suggests that Large Igneous Provinces (LIPs) and Silicic LIPs (SLIPs) are a significant driver of dramatic global environmental and biological changes, including mass extinctions.

Larval assemblages over the abyssal plain in the Pacific are highly diverse and spatially patchy [PDF]
PeerJ, 2019 Abyssal plains are among the most biodiverse yet least explored marine ecosystems on our planet, and they are increasingly threatened by human impacts, including future deep seafloor mining.

Temporal changes (1989–1999) in deep-sea metazoan meiofaunal assemblages on the Porcupine Abyssal Plain, NE Atlantic [PDF]
, 2010 Trends among major metazoan meiofaunal taxa were investigated based on 56 deployments of a multicorer at 10 time points over a period of 11 years (1989–1999) at the Porcupine Abyssal Plain Sustained Observatory site (PAP-SO: 48°50?N 16°30?W, 4850 m depth)

Checklist of newly-vouchered annelid taxa from the Clarion-Clipperton Zone, central Pacific Ocean, based on morphology and genetic delimitation [PDF]
Biodiversity Data Journal, 2023 We present a checklist of annelids from recent United Kingdom Seabed Resources (UKSR) expeditions (Abyssal Baseline - ABYSSLINE project) to the eastern abyssal Pacific Clarion-Clipperton Zone (CCZ) polymetallic nodule fields, based on DNA species ...

The Role of Carrion Supply in the Abundance of Deep-Water Fish off California [PDF]
, 2012 Few time series of deep-sea systems exist from which the factors affecting abyssal fish populations can be evaluated. Previous analysis showed an increase in grenadier abundance, in the eastern North Pacific, which lagged epibenthic megafaunal abundance,

RRS James Cook Cruise 62, 24 Jul-29 Aug 2011. Porcupine Abyssal Plain – sustained observatory research [PDF]
, 2012 Science rationale for the activities comes from the fact that during the EU Framework programme IV project BENGAL (1996 to 1999) radical changes were noted in fauna living on the abyssal seafloor (Progress in Oceanography, Billett 2001).
