Microbial communities associated with ferromanganese nodules and the surrounding sediments

open access: yesFrontiers in Microbiology, 2013
The formation and maintenance of deep-sea ferromanganese/polymetallic nodules still remains a mystery 140 years after their discovery. The wealth of rare metals concentrated in these nodules has spurred global interest in exploring the mining potential ...

Bacterial contributions to the formation of polymetallic nodules in the Pacific Ocean

open access: yesFrontiers in Marine Science
Polymetallic nodules, widely distributed in the deep seafloor of the Pacific Ocean, are characterized by their abundance of diverse metal elements and considerable economic value. Previous studies have suggested a partial biogenic origin of these nodules.

A New Method for Calculating Growth Rates of Ferromanganese Nodules From Marginal Seas: Implications for Terrigenous Input in the South China Sea

open access: yesGeophysical Research Letters, Volume 52, Issue 16, 28 August 2025.
Abstract Accurate age determination of marine ferromanganese (Fe‐Mn) nodules is crucial for interpreting their geochemical compositions as paleoceanographic tracers and for understanding critical metal (e.g., Co, Ni) enrichment. Previous empirical dating methods, primarily developed for deep‐ocean nodules, are less effective in marginal seas with high ...

Meiofauna in a Potential Deep-Sea Mining Area—Influence of Temporal and Spatial Variability on Small-Scale Abundance Models

open access: yesDiversity, 2020
In large areas of the Clarion Clipperton Fracture Zone (northeast Pacific), exploration of deep-sea polymetallic nodules as a potential source of high-technology metals is ongoing. Deep-sea mining may have a severe impact on the benthic communities. Here,

Hydro-thermodynamic model of deep-water hydraulic lift of 3-phase fluid considering heat-mass-exchange processes [PDF]

open access: yes, 2000
Purpose. To justify theoretical dependences of the main flow parameters of 3-phase streams for modeling the process of hydraulic hoisting of polymetallic nodules in the flow section of the deep-water air-lift for various structures of heterogeneous fluid

The Unfree Commons: Freedom of Marine Scientific Research and the Status of Genetic Resources Beyond National Jurisdiction

open access: yesThe Modern Law Review, Volume 88, Issue 2, Page 300-332, March 2025.
Longstanding negotiations on the status of marine genetic resources beyond national jurisdiction under a new UN treaty oscillated between the common heritage of mankind and the freedom of the high seas. The final text of the new Biodiversity Beyond National Jurisdiction (BBNJ) Treaty bridges the normative dissonance by crafting a freedom of marine ...
