Potential mitigation and restoration actions in ecosystems impacted by seabed mining [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
Mining impacts will affect local populations to different degrees. Impacts range from removal of habitats and possible energy sources to pollution and smaller-scale alterations in local habitats that, depending on the degree of disturbance, can lead to ...

Mining of deep-seabed nodules using a Coandă-effect-based collector

open access: yesResults in Engineering, 2023
We present an effective design of a hydraulic, polymetallic nodule collector, which fundamentally depends on the Coandă effect in harvesting nodules. The design was first developed based on 2D numerical simulations conducted using a computational fluid ...

Hydrocarbon-derived ferromanganese nodules in carbonate-mud mounds from the Gulf of Cadiz: Mud-breccia sediments and clasts as nucleation sites [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
More than 500 F e - M n nodules were sampled during the Anastasya-01 cruise (TASYO project) along the continental margin of the Gulf of Cadiz (eastern Central Atlantic), at the confluence of the Mediterranean Sea with the Atlantic Ocean, where ...

Air-Lift Pumping System for Hybrid Mining of Rare-Earth Elements-Rich Mud and Polymetallic Nodules around Minamitorishima Island

open access: yesJournal of Marine Science and Engineering
REE-rich mud under the seabed at a 5500–5700 m water depth around Minamitorishima island and polymetallic nodules buried in the deep seabed are very promising and attractive to explore and develop.

Molecular Cages Based Materials for CO2 Capture, Separation, and Conversion

open access: yesEcoMat, Volume 8, Issue 2, February 2026.
Molecular cages (MCs), boasting soluble, regenerable traits and precisely tunable structures, exhibit substantial potential for efficient CO2 capture, separation, and conversion. This review thoroughly explores MCs' recent advancements, analyzes current unresolved challenges, and provides forward‐looking perspectives to tackle pressing carbon‐related ...

Accurate Identification Method of Small-Size Polymetallic Nodules Based on Seafloor Hyperspectral Data

open access: yesJournal of Marine Science and Engineering
Polymetallic nodules are spherical or ellipsoidal mineral aggregates formed naturally in deep-sea environments. They contain a variety of metallic elements and are important solid mineral resources on the seabed.

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

open access: yesGeoarchaeology, 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 ...

Giant, highly diverse protists in the abyssal Pacific: vulnerability to impacts from seabed mining and potential for recovery

open access: yesCommunicative & Integrative Biology, 2020
Xenophyophores, giant deep-sea agglutinated foraminifera, dominate the benthic megafauna in the eastern equatorial Pacific Clarion-Clipperton Zone. This abyssal (>4000 m depth) region hosts major deposits of polymetallic nodules targeted for future ...

Characterization and Reuse of Lithium‐ion Battery Cathode Material Recovered Through a Bacterial Process

open access: yesAdvanced Energy Materials, Volume 15, Issue 46, December 9, 2025.
A sustainable bacteria‐based lithium‐ion battery cathode recycling method is optimized using engineering biology. The resulting biomineralized manganese carbonate species is found to be easily converted into an electrode material, via simple calcination.
