Acoustic evidence for topographic blocking on a steep submarine canyon wall
Abstract Diel vertical migration (DVM) is the largest mass‐movement of animals on Earth, with profound ecological and biogeochemical consequences. DVM has mostly been studied in the open ocean; however, at steep slopes, pelagic animals including vertical migrators must contend with the seafloor, emphasizing the importance of understanding DVM in these ...

Abstract The turnover rate of microbial cells drops steeply by increasing depth in the seabed, in accordance with the decreasing rate of organic matter mineralization. Bacterial endospore formation and germination may take place concurrently, yet their coupling to the mineralization rates during burial is poorly understood.

Engineered Gravel Trench Hyporheic Exchange to Create Cold‐Water Thermal Refuges
ABSTRACT Warming rivers are driving a loss or fragmentation of cold‐water habitat and providing the impetus to develop proactive thermal management approaches to maintain suitable habitat in rivers. One innovative approach is through the creation of cold‐water thermal refuges during periods of thermal stress for aquatic species.

A Tool for Prioritizing Gravel Augmentation Reaches for Sediment Starved Rivers
ABSTRACT Gravel augmentation is a widely used restoration technique used to improve habitat below dams, including salmonids spawning habitat. However, gravel augmentation can be cost‐prohibitive, and it is often unclear which stream segments have the highest potential to benefit spawning salmonids.

Abstract Variations in the elemental C:N:P ratios of organic matter (OM) influence the coupling of carbon and nutrient cycles in the ocean. In this study, we assess the relevance of OM C:N:P stoichiometry for regional carbon cycling in the northwest European shelf seas (NWES).

Abstract Seafloor basalt samples recovered from the Caroline Basin (CB), the Parece Vela Basin (PVB), and the Western Philippine Sea Plate (WPSP) are analyzed for whole‐rock major and trace elements (including H2O), Sr‐Nd‐Pb‐Hf isotopes and 40Ar‐39Ar age‐dating.

Numerical simulation of air–sea coupling during coastal upwelling
Air–sea coupling during coastal upwelling was examined through idealized three-dimensional numerical simulations with a coupled atmosphere–ocean mesoscale model.

Abstract Rifting is a tectonic process that leads to extensive magmatic activity, continental breakup, and the formation of new oceanic crust. The interplay between rifting and dynamic mantle flow driven by thermal heterogeneity in the mantle along the rift‐axis can influence magmatism and deformation beyond the rift zone.
