The widespread use of biocides to control biofouling has led to significant marine pollution. Among these, 4,5-dichloro-2-n-octyl-4-isothiazolin-3-one (DCOIT) has emerged as a prominent antifouling co...
There is a common misconception among ocean scientists and policy makers that mesopelagic (200-1000 m) food webs are an unexploited "final frontier" of living marine resources. It is true that there a...
Antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) have drawn global attention and are ubiquitously detected in marine environments. Seamounts, prominent seafloor features with high biodiversity, may be hotspots for ...
Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) are globally recognised as contaminants of emerging concern due to their persistence, toxicity, endocrine-disrupting and immunosuppressive effects. Because o...
Theory of Mind (ToM) reasoning with Large Language Models (LLMs) requires inferring how people's implicit, evolving beliefs shape what they seek and how they act under uncertainty -- especially in hig...
Cigarette butts (CBs) are among the most pervasive anthropogenic litter globally, posing significant environmental challenges due to their toxic chemical constituents and cellulose acetate filters. In...
Many materials create new habitats for microbial colonization and the persistence of potentially pathogenic bacteria. Despite this, comparative studies addressing the microbial diversity and pathogeni...
The subseafloor biosphere is one of the largest ecosystems on Earth, hosting dense populations of microbial cells. Microbial activity is critical to the Earth's geochemical cycles of major elements su...
To address the problems of high-power consumption, large weight-on-bit, significant disturbance, and difficulties in sealing and waterproofing in the traditional Deep-sea Seafloor Drill, a novel piezo...
Spermatozoa represent one of the most sensitive stages of the life cycle in broadcast spawners, as they are directly released into the water column and immediately exposed to environmental contaminant...
Underwater tactile force sensing is crucial for achieving nondestructive and stable object manipulation in ocean robotics, especially in deep-sea environments where traditional vision-based methods ar...
The Arctic and sub-Arctic are warming at least three times faster than the global average, altering terrestrial carbon delivery to the oceans and marine carbon cycling. The sequestration of such carbo...
Pharmaceuticals and personal care products (PPCPs) as well as current-use pesticides (CUPs) are considered to be contaminants of emerging concern (CECs), but there is limited information that exists a...
The seawater refractive index gradient is a critical optical parameter for characterizing marine environmental dynamics, with significant implications for marine ecology, ocean dynamics, and ocean opt...
Understanding human's responses to extreme environments holds significant importance for space exploration, deep-sea research, and environmental adaptation. Traditionally, human subjects were used to ...
Marine pollution is an escalating global concern, and marine mammals are widely recognized as sentinels of cumulative chemical and biological stressors in coastal ecosystems. South American otariids (...
The Southwest Atlantic Ocean (SWAO) is a globally important region, where diverse water masses converge and mix, regulating the Earth's climate while supporting productive fisheries and high marine bi...
This paper proposes a robust navigation method based on a robust square-root cubature Kalman filter (RSRCKF) to address the accuracy divergence of integrated navigation systems caused by drilling-indu...
Microorganisms employ inorganic polyphosphate (polyP) as an ancient strategy for energy and phosphate storage, yet its physiological roles in methanogenic archaea remain largely unexplored. Here, we r...
