An assessment of bottom current controlled sedimentation in Pacific Ocean abyssal environments [PDF]

, 2018
The effect of the circulation of polar-sourced dense waters on the deep seafloor is still largely unknown. This paper presents multibeam bathymetric evidence for the existence of present-day contourite drifts on the central Pacific ocean at depths ...

Rethinking Sustainable Batteries

Advanced Energy Materials, Volume 15, Issue 47, December 16, 2025.
This perspective examines sustainability across the entire battery lifecycle, from mining and manufacturing to use and end of life. Twelve principles for ‘green’ batteries are outlined, and it is argued that joint industrial, academic, and policy efforts are essential to building a truly sustainable energy future. Abstract Batteries will play a pivotal

Giant protists (xenophyophores, Foraminifera) are exceptionally diverse in parts of the abyssal eastern Pacific licensed for polymetallic nodule exploration [PDF]

, 2017
Xenophyophores, giant, fragile, agglutinated foraminifera (protists), are major constituents of the abyssal megafauna in the equatorial Pacific Clarion-Clipperton Zone (CCZ), a region where seabed mining of polymetallic nodules may occur in the future ...

Experimental seabed disturbance effects on Chatham Rise deep‐sea meiofaunal communities, Southwest Pacific

New Zealand Journal of Marine and Freshwater Research, Volume 59, Issue 5, Page 1388-1421, December 2025.
ABSTRACT Growing global demand for deep‐sea resources may lead to increased pressure on benthic ecosystems. Here we examined changes in meiofaunal communities following an in situ physical disturbance experiment. A significant change in meiofaunal community structure in surface (0‐1 cm) and subsurface (1‐5 cm) sediments was observed immediately ...

Heterogeneous marine environments diversify microbial-driven polymetallic nodule formation in the South China Sea

Frontiers in Marine Science
Most studies on the genesis of polymetallic nodules suggested that nodules in the South China Sea (SCS) are hydrogenetic; however, the complexity and the heterogeneity in hydrology and geochemistry of the SCS might cause different processes of nodule ...

Ferromanganese nodules and micro-hardgrounds associated with the Cadiz Contourite Channel (NE Atlantic): Palaeoenvironmental records of fluid venting and bottom currents [PDF]

, 2012
Ferromanganese nodule fields and hardgrounds have recently been discovered in the Cadiz Contourite Channel in the Gulf of Cadiz (850–1000 m). This channel is part of a large contourite depositional system generated by the Mediterranean Outflow Water ...

Effects of experimental in situ seabed disturbance on deep‐sea macrofaunal communities of Chatham Rise, Southwest Pacific

New Zealand Journal of Marine and Freshwater Research, Volume 59, Issue 5, Page 1422-1459, December 2025.
ABSTRACT With the possibility of deep‐sea mining of mineral resources occurring, it is necessary to understand potential impacts on benthic communities. Previous simulated mining experiments revealed direct benthic impacts; however, indirect impacts of sedimentation are not well understood.

Characterization, Calcination and Pre-Reduction of Polymetallic Manganese Nodules by Hydrogen and Methane

Metals, 2022
A polymetallic manganese nodule was characterized and further calcined and pre-reduced by H2, CH4, and H2-CH4 mixtures at elevated temperatures. It was found that the main Mn and Fe elements coexisted in the ore in different minerals, and the Mn/Fe ratio

Almost billfish: convergent longirostry, micro‐dentition, and possible glandular sinuses in a large teleost fish from the Upper Cretaceous of Northern Italy

Journal of Anatomy, Volume 247, Issue 6, Page 1109-1130, December 2025.
A fossil rostrum fragment of a large teleost fish from the Upper Cretaceous of Northern Italy reveals remarkable anatomical convergences with Cenozoic and Recent billfishes (marlins, swordfishes, and akin). The extinct group Plethodidae independently acquired a long snout, micro‐teeth, and oil‐gland sinuses well before the evolution of true billfishes.
