Ocean sediments and shifting baselines—A call to revise European habitat classifications

Journal of Applied Ecology, Volume 63, Issue 9, September 2026.
Shifting baselines affect the appropriateness of existing habitat classification frameworks, potentially reducing MPA integrity and efficacy. To enable representative mapping, accurate sensitivity assessments and appropriate management of marine habitats, EUNIS classifications require more flexibility.

Prokaryotic Novelty and Metabolic Diversity in the Tagoro Shallow Hydrothermal System (Canary Islands, Spain)

Environmental Microbiology, Volume 28, Issue 9, September 2026.
Hydrothermal activity at the Tagoro submarine volcano shapes distinct epipelagic and benthic prokaryotic communities. Microbial diversity decreases towards vent sources, yet novel taxa dominate and potentially contribute to iron, nitrogen, sulphur and methane cycling in this shallow hydrothermal system with high unexplored microbial diversity ...

Different Frontier, Same Legal Script? On the Course of Replicating Earth's Patterns in Space

The Modern Law Review, Volume 89, Issue 5, Page 723-759, September 2026.
As states and private actors expand their activities in outer space, the international legal framework governing this domain risks extending longstanding structures of global inequality beyond Earth. This article examines how international space law, shaped by a broader disciplinary pattern of reactive legal development, is poised to reproduce ...

Cautionary Tales for Science‐Based Policy in Deep‐Sea Mining Governance

Global Policy, Volume 17, Issue 4, Page 764-772, September 2026.
ABSTRACT This article examines how low‐certainty scientific claims permeate high‐stakes policy debates before rigorous validation. Using deep‐sea mining governance as a focal domain, the study traces high‐visibility narratives, including the “dark oxygen” hypothesis, radioactive risks of polymetallic nodules, projected impacts of sediment plume ...

Learning From Crushing Failures: Changes in Physical Properties Reveal the Mechanics of Submarine Carbonate Landslides

Basin Research, Volume 38, Issue 5, September‐October 2026.
Changes in the physical properties of calcareous ooze between intact weak layers and glide planes within the same stratigraphy provide new constraints on the deformation processes and mechanical factors that control the mobility and erosive behaviour of submarine carbonate landslides.
