Environment International, 2019 While ballast water has long been linked to the global transport of invasive species, little is known about its microbiome. Herein, we used 16S rRNA gene sequencing and metabarcoding to perform the most comprehensive microbiological survey of ballast ...

Limnology and Oceanography: Methods, EarlyView.Abstract Particles sinking from the surface to the deep ocean play a key role in the biological carbon pump, whose efficiency depends partly on sinking velocities. Over the last decade, in situ imaging has enabled critical advances in our understanding of particle dynamics in the ocean.

Coexistence, crossover and extirpation in coalescent communities and ecotones
Oikos, EarlyView.When two ecological communities come into contact, the strength of their mixing determines whether species coexist, extirpate, or extend their ranges. We present analytical formulas and simulations describing these transitions. Specifically, we derive abundance shifts upon community coalescence, identify the critical mixing strength leading to first ...

KPI (KEY PERFORMANCE INDICATORS) APPLICATION ON BALLAST WATER TREATMENT SYSTEM SELECTION
Brodogradnja, 2017 Every day, more than 7,000 different marine species are transferred to different ecosystems via ballast water in ships. The introduction of invasive species can cause problems for native species.

Enabling Under Ice Glider Operations: A Backseat Driver Approach
Journal of Field Robotics, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Polar Oceans are key locations for forcing global ocean circulation, influencing both global climate and biogeochemical cycles. Due to restricted access to these seasonally and perennially ice‐covered regions, these areas are severely undersampled.

ASEAN Journal on Science and Technology for Development, 2018 Transfer of invasive alien organisms and their negative impacts have been recorded around the world. It is estimated that approximately 7,000 species of marine creatures are silently moved around the world by ballast water every hour. Recently, discharge

Review of Ballast Water Management
2021 International Symposium ELMAR, 2021 Ballast water provides to ship appropriate maneuverability, seaworthiness, cargo worthiness and it is essential to the safe and efficient operation of ship. The limits of organism concentration in ballast water allowed to be discharged into portʼs aquatorium were set by the International Maritime Organization (IMO).

Actuation Strategies for Underwater Jet‐Propelled Soft Robots
Journal of Field Robotics, EarlyView.ABSTRACT This review article examines jet‐propulsion mechanisms in underwater soft robotic systems, focusing exclusively on physically fabricated and experimentally validated robots. Covering research published from 2013 to 2025, this study classifies and evaluates jet‐propulsion robots based on their actuation mechanisms.
