High Resolution Mapping in support of UNCLOS Article 76: Seeing the seafloor with new eyes [PDF]

open access: yes, 2007
Since 2003, the Center for Coastal & Ocean Mapping/Joint Hydrographic Center at the University of New Hampshire (UNH) has been conducting multibeam mapping of many U.S.

Associations of Commercial Fisheries and Cold‐Water Corals and Sponges

open access: yesFish and Fisheries, Volume 27, Issue 2, Page 116-129, March 2026.
Three metrics for determining whether the marine life that are landed by commercial fisheries are associated with cold‐water corals and sponges: (a) Adjacent; (b) General Proximity; and (c) Habitat. The relationship between these structure forming invertebrates (SFI) and fisheries is robust across analytical approaches.

Novel Application of a Compound-Specific Stable Isotope (CSSI) Tracking Technique Demonstrates Connectivity Between Terrestrial and Deep-Sea Ecosystems via Submarine Canyons

open access: yesFrontiers in Marine Science, 2020
Studies have shown the importance of submarine canyons as conduits of land-derived organic carbon beyond the coastal shelf into the deep-sea where a single obvious river source can be identified.

Channel profiles through the active thrust front of the southern Barbados prism. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2004
International audienceSubmarine channels of the Orinoco River were analyzed using high-quality, dense coverage bathymetric and seismic data provided by a recent marine survey on the southern Barbados prism.

Wildfire risk and municipal bond yields

open access: yesJournal of Risk and Insurance, Volume 93, Issue 1, Page 118-162, March 2026.
Abstract Wildfires increased in frequency and severity over the past 30 years, raising the exposure of municipalities. We study whether municipal bond yields reflect wildfire risk and find that the municipal bond market begins pricing wildfire risk around 2000.

Choose Your Laws Carefully: Executive Authority to Unilaterally Withdraw the United States Outer Continental Shelf from Leasing Disposition [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
Congress enacted the Outer Continental Shelf Lands Act (OCSLA) to both exert federal jurisdiction over the submerged lands of the U.S. Outer Continental Shelf and establish the legal framework for America’s offshore energy production regime. Section 12(a)

Shifting in the shadows: Morphofunctional variations of Miconia sellowiana Naudin (Melastomataceae) associated with cave environments

open access: yesPlant Biology, Volume 28, Issue 2, Page 441-451, March 2026.
Cave environments filter plant traits, selecting thinner, smaller leaves with reduced photosynthetic and vascular structures. Abstract Caves present unique ecological conditions that influence the distribution and adaptation of species, yet studies on cave‐associated vegetation remain limited.

Survival of a submarine canyon during long-term outbuilding of a continental margin [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
Net-depositional submarine canyons are common in continental slope strata, but how they survive and prograde on constructional margins is poorly understood.

On the Role of Western Boundary Currents to Fertilize Adjacent Continental Shelves at Interannual Scales: A Case Study in the Southwestern Atlantic

open access: yesGeophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 3, 16 February 2026.
Abstract Exchanges between continental shelves and open ocean basins regulate the transport of heat, salt, and nutrients. In the Southwestern Atlantic, the western boundary current known as the Malvinas Current (MC) fertilizes the outer shelf through recurrent slope‐water intrusions.

How is particulate organic carbon transported through the river-fed submarine Congo Canyon to the deep sea? [PDF]

open access: yesBiogeosciences
The transfer of carbon from land to the near-coastal ocean is increasingly being recognized in global carbon budgets. However, a more direct transfer of terrestrial organic carbon to the deep sea is comparatively overlooked.
