Reappraisal of the Continental Rifting and Seafloor Spreading That Formed the South China Sea

open access: yesGeosciences
Recently published marine geophysical and seafloor drilling data permit a substantive reappraisal of the rifting and spreading that formed the South China Sea (SCS).

Shaping research in marine functional connectivity for integrated and effective marine science and management

open access: yesBiological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Effective knowledge of ecological connectivity at sea and at the land–sea interface is key to supporting global policy goals to conserve and restore ocean biodiversity and function. However, a persistent lack of commonality in terminology and understanding around the concept of connectivity in marine ecological studies hampers its integration ...

Upper Mantle Anisotropic Shear Velocity Structure at the Equatorial Mid‐Atlantic Ridge Constrained by Rayleigh Wave Group Velocity Analysis From the PI‐LAB Experiment

open access: yesGeochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems, 2021
The evolution of ocean lithosphere and asthenosphere are fundamental to plate tectonics, yet high resolution imaging is rare. We present shear wave velocity and azimuthal anisotropy models for the upper mantle from Rayleigh wave group velocities from ...

Flexible ionic pressure sensors: From migration‐electronic mechanisms to emerging iontronic paradigms

open access: yesInfoMat, EarlyView.
Mechanisms, materials, structures, and applications of the FIPSs. Abstract Flexible ionic pressure sensors (FIPS) have emerged as promising candidates for bridging the gap between electronics and biologically compatible interfaces. Unlike previous reviews, which focused primarily on materials or devices, this review presents a classification of FIPS ...

The Evolution of Seafloor Spreading Behind the Tip of the Westward Propagating Cocos‐Nazca Spreading Center

open access: yesGeochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems, 2020
At the Galapagos triple junction in the equatorial Pacific Ocean, the Cocos‐Nazca spreading center does not meet the East Pacific Rise (EPR) but, instead, rifts into 0.4 Myr‐old lithosphere on the EPR flank.

Combining multibeam and single beam echosounders for quantifying gas bubble release from the seafloor

open access: yesLimnology and Oceanography: Methods, EarlyView.
Abstract Marine gas bubble release is a worldwide phenomenon that impacts the local marine ecosystem and contributes to carbon fluxes with respect to global warming. It is still challenging to assess gas flow for large seep areas (tens of km2), but recent advances in calibrating and processing multibeam echosounder (MBES) data make this problem ...

Geophysical characterisation of the ocean–continent transition at magma-poor rifted margins [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
Geophysical characterisation of the ocean-continent transition (OCT) at magma-poor riftedmargins has focused primarily on the determination of P wave velocities using wide-angleseismic techniques. Such experiments have shown that the OCT is heterogeneous,

A prototype submersible sheathless flow cytometer designed for autonomous platforms

open access: yesLimnology and Oceanography: Methods, EarlyView.
Abstract Development of submersible flow cytometers has allowed for continuous, in situ measurements of natural assemblages of phytoplankton cells. Here we introduce DeepCyte, a sensitive prototype submersible flow cytometer developed for deployment on autonomous platforms.

Community‐based marine restoration to generate social licence and ecological knowledge for upscaling oyster reef restoration

open access: yesPeople and Nature, EarlyView.
Abstract Community‐led restoration operates at the intersection of ecological feasibility and social acceptability. In the marine realm, restoration is challenging due to gaps in ecological knowledge on how and where to restore lost ecosystems and limited public engagement that provides social licence for restoration.
