The adoption of exhaust gas cleaning systems (scrubbers) in maritime transport generates a complex metal-laden washwater that may pose a noteworthy threat to marine ecosystems. This study assessed the...
Pollutant transport-reaction dynamics in aquatic systems often exhibit environmental memory, in which the present state depends on antecedent environmental conditions. This study develops a time-fract...
Marine organisms have proven to be excellent sources of bioactive natural products with potential therapeutic applications. To date, seventeen marine-derived molecules are on the market for the treatm...
Domoic acid (DA) is an important environmental neurotoxin produced by certain types of marine algae and can accumulate in seafood such as anchovies, sardines, and mussels, which are considered healthy...
Marine litter has been quantified in several deep-sea environments, including complex habitats such as submarine canyons that host Vulnerable Marine Ecosystems. However, a standardized method for its ...
The evolving LLM landscape requires capabilities beyond simple text generation, prioritizing multi-step reasoning, long-context understanding, and agentic workflows. This shift challenges existing mod...
In long-horizon tasks, decision-relevant state is often scattered across an expanding trajectory, while the action agent must surface it and act. As trajectories grow, task requirements, environment f...
International cooperation is a central component of nuclear accident management. Although feedback on the Fukushima accident has highlighted the long-term economic, social and cultural consequences of...
Artificial reefs (ARs), a form of anthropogenic intervention in marine habitats, have a long history of deployment and continue to proliferate worldwide. Based on a comprehensive literature review and...
It is assumed that the eventual sink of global microplastic pollution is the deep sea. The primary vector for sediment and particulate pollutants to the deep sea are gravity currents down canyons alon...
Seagrass meadows of Thalassia testudinum are key components of blue carbon ecosystems and effective bioindicators of environmental contamination due to their ability to incorporate both inorganic and ...
Deep-sea methane seeps host diverse and abundant animal communities, including an extensive undescribed diversity of small cryptic invertebrates. We describe a new genus and species of neomphalid snai...
Marine metabolomics has emerged as a powerful approach for elucidating the chemical basis of marine biodiversity, ecological interactions, and organismal responses to environmental change. By profilin...
The hagfish eye is highly reduced, lacking pigment and a lens, and covered by soft tissue. The timing and mode of this loss of complexity remain unknown. Here, we present high-resolution anatomical da...
This study aimed to investigate the acute and chronic toxic effects of two thermodynamic inhibitors (methanol and ethylene glycol) widely used in deep-sea oil and gas operations on two typical marine ...
Carbon fixation in marine ecosystems is a vital process that contributes to climate regulation, with ocean sediments playing a critical role in carbon sequestration. This process is driven by chemolit...
Although nitrogen fixation has recently been recognized in the Arctic Ocean, the biogeographical patterns of diazotrophs in this region remain poorly resolved, leaving a critical gap in understanding ...
Giant Antarctic iceberg calving is projected to increase with climate change, affecting ocean circulation, nutrient supply, and carbon cycling. These icebergs can stimulate primary production and infl...
The release of heavy metals from commercial deep-sea mining is likely to be a long-term process lasting decade, and therefore fish communities are actually exposed to a chronic, ongoing stressor. Howe...
Emerging organic contaminants (EOCs), including per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFASs), polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs), polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), and antibiotics, persist i...
