Composition and assembly of the microbial community within the deep chlorophyll maximum layer of the seamount and the adjacent coastal waters in the South China Sea [PDF]
mSphereSeamounts are generally recognized as hotspots of microbial biodiversity in the ocean, and their topography and hydrography around the seamounts significantly influence microbial biogeography.

Virioplankton distribution in the tropical western Pacific Ocean in the vicinity of a seamount
MicrobiologyOpen, 2020 The shallow Caroline Seamount is located in the tropical western Pacific Ocean. Its summit is 57 m below the surface and penetrates the euphotic zone. Therefore, it is ideal for the study of the influence of seamount on plankton distribution.

Multi-faceted examination of a deepwater seamount reveals ecological patterns among coral and sponge communities in the equatorial Pacific [PDF]
Scientific ReportsSpatial changes in benthic community structure have been observed across natural gradients in deep-sea ecosystems, but these patterns remain under-sampled on seamounts.

Marine forearc structure of eastern Java and its role in the 1994 Java tsunami earthquake [PDF]
Solid Earth, 2021 We resolve a previously unrecognized shallow subducting seamount from a re-processed multichannel seismic profile crossing the 1994 Mw 7.8 Java tsunami earthquake rupture area.

Endemicity, biogeograhy, composition, and community structure on a northeast pacific seamount. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2009 The deep ocean greater than 1 km covers the majority of the earth's surface. Interspersed on the abyssal plains and continental slope are an estimated 14000 seamounts, topographic features extending 1000 m off the seafloor.

Science priorities for seamounts: research links to conservation and management. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2012 Seamounts shape the topography of all ocean basins and can be hotspots of biological activity in the deep sea. The Census of Marine Life on Seamounts (CenSeam) was a field program that examined seamounts as part of the global Census of Marine Life (CoML)

Three-Dimensional Sound Propagation in the South China Sea with the Presence of Seamount
Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2021 Seamounts have important effects on sound propagation in deep water. A sound propagation experiment was conducted in the South China Sea in 2016. The three-dimensional (3D) effects of a seamount on sound propagation are observed in different propagation ...

Analysis of Pacific Hotspot Chains
Geochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems, 2022 Seamount trails created by mantle plumes are often used to establish absolute reference frames for plate motion. When plume drift is considered, changes in seamount trail direction and age progression cannot be attributed to plate motion change alone ...

First records of two rare and enigmatic nematodes, Rhaptothyreus typicus Hope & Murphy, 1969 and Bodonema vossi Jensen, 1991 (Nematoda, Rhaptothyreidae and Bodonematidae), from seamounts in the Andaman Sea [PDF]
Check ListWe collected sediment samples from seamounts in the Andaman Sea, India, onboard RV Sindhu Sankalp using a spade corer. Rhaptothyreus typicus Hope & Murphy, 1969 was collected from a hydrothermally active seamount, whereas Bodonema vossi Jensen ...
