Microbial communities associated with ferromanganese nodules and the surrounding sediments

Frontiers 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 ...

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

Geophysical 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 ...

Open‐Source Marine Biodiversity Data Quality in the Norwegian Sea Spanning 149 Years: Knowledge Gaps in the Deep‐Sea Mining Opening Area

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 8, August 2025.
To identify spatial–temporal patterns of marine species biodiversity and to provide specific information in Norway for Environmental Impact Assessments and Statements, we present biodiversity patterns for marine occurrences from 1876 to 2025 (149 years).

Mineralization at Different Structural Levels in the Crust

Acta Geologica Sinica - English Edition, Volume 99, Issue 4, Page 1042-1058, August 2025.
Abstract Metallogenic research on structural levels can reveal vertical patterns of mineralization and facilitate the deep exploration of economic minerals. However, research focusing on the correlation between structural levels and mineralization remains limited.

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

Diversity, 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,

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

The 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 ...
