Multi‐Omic Assessment of Microbial Communities and Their Polyketide Biosynthetic Potential Across Abyssal Sediments

Environmental Microbiology, Volume 28, Issue 5, May 2026.
Abyssal sediments were assessed for taxonomic diversity and polyketide biosynthetic potential and compared to metagenomic and metabolomic assessments of the same sediments. Biodiversity differences were documented across biogeochemical regimes with the results providing baseline awareness of what might be lost should deep‐sea microbiomes be disrupted ...

Quantification of rheological parameters in deep‐sea mining plumes

Deep Underground Science and Engineering, Volume 5, Issue 1, Page 250-265, March 2026.
This study explores the variations in rheological properties observed during the propagation of deep‐sea mining plumes, utilizing rheological test data obtained from kaolin clay plumes. Subsequently, taking into account the differences in sediment properties, the effects of clay content and clay mineral composition on the rheological parameters of ...

Threatened by mining, polymetallic nodules are required to preserve abyssal epifauna [PDF]

Scientific Reports, 2016
AbstractPolymetallic nodule mining at abyssal depths in the Clarion Clipperton Fracture Zone (Eastern Central Pacific) will impact one of the most remote and least known environments on Earth. Since vast areas are being targeted by concession holders for future mining, large-scale effects of these activities are expected.

From Quarries to Urban Construction Sites: Middle‐Late Mesozoic Limestones in the Public Architecture of Roman Verona, Italy

Geoarchaeology, Volume 41, Issue 1, January/February 2026.
ABSTRACT Numerous buildings, monuments, and infrastructural works in Verona were constructed during the Roman period using stone, a material abundantly available from quarrying areas located relatively close to the city. Petrographic investigations conducted by Transmitted Polarized Light Optical Microscopy (TPL‐OM) and complemented by colorimetric ...

Review and Integrated Framework for Deep‐Sea Mineral Resources, Ecological Influence, and Future Development

International Journal of Microbiology, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
As global industrialization advances and land‐based resources decline, deep‐sea resource development is becoming increasingly vital. The deep sea is rich in minerals such as polymetallic nodules, polymetallic sulfides, and cobalt‐rich crust. However, deep‐sea ecosystems and geochemical cycles can be severely impacted by extensive mineral mining.
