Beyond the plains: deep-sea mining of polymetallic nodules on and around seamounts
Deep-sea mining management, scientific research, and public discourse have largely focused on polymetallic nodule extraction from abyssal plains. However, there is growing commercial interest in nodules on and around seamounts, with exploration and ...

Peak Last Glacial weathering intensity on the North American continent recorded by the authigenic Hf isotope composition of North Atlantic deep-sea sediments [PDF]
We have retrieved radiogenic hafnium (Hf) isotope compositions (ɛHf) from authigenic Fe–Mn oxyhydroxides of deep northwest Atlantic sediments deposited over the past 26 ka to investigate the oceanic evidence of changes in dissolved weathering inputs from

Radiogenic isotopes: Tracers of past ocean circulation and erosional input [PDF]
The radiogenic isotope composition of dissolved trace metals in the ocean represents a set of relatively new and not yet fully exploited tracers with a large potential for oceanographic and paleoceanographic research on timescales from the present back ...

Near-Earth Supernova Explosions: Evidence, Implications, and Opportunities [PDF]
There is now solid experimental evidence of at least one supernova explosion within 100 pc of Earth within the last few million years, from measurements of the short-lived isotope ⁶⁰Fe in widespread deep-ocean samples, as well as in the lunar regolith ...
