Characterisation of the nematode community of a low-activity cold seep in the recently ice-shelf free Larsen B area, Eastern Antarctic Peninsula. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2011
BACKGROUND: Recent climate-induced ice-shelf disintegration in the Larsen A (1995) and B (2002) areas along the Eastern Antarctic Peninsula formed a unique opportunity to assess sub-ice-shelf benthic community structure and led to the discovery of ...

Strengthening urban resilience in China through underground infrastructures management: Addressing global climate challenges with technological solutions

open access: yesDeep Underground Science and Engineering, EarlyView.
This paper explores how climate‐resilient technologies, such as smart grids, digital twins, and self‐healing materials, can enhance urban resilience. It highlights the urgent need for proactive planning, public‐private collaboration, and data‐driven innovation to future‐proof underground infrastructure amid accelerating climate and urban pressures ...

Seismic monitoring of sub-seafloor fluid processes in the Haima cold seep area using an Ocean Bottom Seismometer (OBS)

open access: yesEarth and Planetary Physics, 2023
The use of ocean bottom seismometers provides an effective means of studying the process and the dynamic of cold seeps by continuously recording micro-events produced by sub-seafloor fluid migration. We deployed a four-component Ocean Bottom Seismometer (

Numerical simulation study on the evolution of the temperature field and frozen wall in fractured rock mass

open access: yesDeep Underground Science and Engineering, EarlyView.
The evolution of the temperature field and frozen wall under different fracture conditions was examined by an artificial ground freezing‐based thermal‐hydraulic coupled model. It was observed that fracture inclination affects the interaction extent of freezing pipes and fracture, while phase transition extent is the dominant factor for heat transfer in

Methane seep carbonates yield clumped isotope signatures out of equilibrium with formation temperatures

open access: yesNature Communications, 2016
The geochemistry of methane cold seep carbonates is often used to reconstruct environmental conditions. Loyd et al. find disequilibrium clumped isotope compositions in modern seep carbonates that suggest temperatures up to 50°C too high, raising doubt on

Research progress and current status of dynamic wave propagation characteristics in rock mass: A review

open access: yesDeep Underground Science and Engineering, EarlyView.
This review elucidates the velocity–dispersion–attenuation coupling mechanisms of wave propagation in rock masses, compares six representative models, and reveals how pressure, temperature, mineral composition, and anisotropy jointly control dynamic responses in complex geological media.

Macrofauna community of the cold seep area at Site F, South China Sea

open access: yesFrontiers in Marine Science, 2023
A cold seep is one of the typical deep-sea chemical energy ecosystems and a hotspot for studying unique life processes and biogeochemical cycles in the deep sea.

Viruses in the sediments around the trenches harbor diverse survival mechanisms

open access: yesiMetaOmics, EarlyView.
Deep‐sea trenches are the deepest and most isolated environments in the global ocean but the diversity and adaptation of the viral communities remain poorly characterized. In this study, 5563 viral operational taxonomic units (vOTUs) were identified from sediments of the Yap Trench and Western Caroline Basin.

Elevated methane alters dissolved organic matter composition in the Arctic Ocean cold seeps

open access: yesFrontiers in Earth Science, 2023
Cold seeps release methane (CH4) from the seafloor to the water column, which fuels microbially mediated aerobic methane oxidation (MOx). Methane-oxidising bacteria (MOB) utilise excess methane, and the MOB biomass serves as a carbon source in the food ...
