Foundational guiding principles for a flourishing Earth system
Abstract In this perspectives article, we maintain that the current local to global sustainable development predicaments we face are the result of humanity's impact on the Earth System (ES)—that is to say, on the very systemic fabric of the ES (i.e., its functioning and configuration), combined with an insufficiently coherent application of sustainable

Asian Pacific Marine Minerals and Industry Structure [PDF]
Eventual development of marine minerals potential in the Asian Pacific would likely draw on the technology, skills, and experience of the emerging international seabed mining industry.

Abstract Increasing interest in seabed resource use in the ocean is introducing new pressures on deep‐sea environments, the ecological impacts of which need to be evaluated carefully. The complexity of these ecosystems and the lack of comprehensive data pose significant challenges to predicting potential impacts.

The world ocean has huge reserves of minerals that are contained directly in the water, as well as on the surface of its bottom and in its subsoils. The deposits of solid minerals on the surface of the bottom of the World Ocean are considered the most ...

Numerical Study and Parameter Optimization of a Dual-jet Based Large Particle Collection System for Deep-sea Mining [PDF]
A dual-jet collecting device is highly efficient at picking up small-sized polymetallic nodules; however, its performance is not as effective for large nodules in deep-sea mining.

Marine Metallic Mineral Resources of the Pacific Basin [PDF]
In the 1970s and 1980s, the ocean became a focus of attention for mineral producers and consumers. This paper surveys that trend with particular emphasis on several specific metals and types of resource deposit.

Mn oxides are important geomaterials widely used in various technological applications. In this work, we present our results on the behaviour of the most common Mn oxides having compact and channel structures during laser irradiation. We show that the spinel structure of hausmannite is the final degradation product of all these compounds.
