Antarctic glacial bays are important, productive regions of the Southern Ocean. Certain glacial bays, including our research area, Admiralty Bay, are less favorable for phytoplankton growth due to win...
The deep ocean hosts autochthonous pressure-adapted microorganisms that are unique to this environment, as well as allochthonous pressure-sensitive members transported from shallow depths by vertical ...
The increasing demand for sustainable aquafeed ingredients has driven the exploration of alternative protein sources to replace conventional fishmeal and soybean meal. Defatted algae cake (DAC), a by-...
For Small Island Developing States, including those in the Caribbean, the deep sea remains a challenging ecosystem to study as it requires expensive technology and specialised expertise. The deep-sea ...
Deep learning (DL) is a powerful tool to extract ecological information from large image datasets efficiently and consistently. However, applying these methods remains challenging, due in part to the ...
The discovery of three gastropod species (Mollusca) in biogenic sediments dredged from mesophotic and bathyal habitats off the coasts of Yemen and Sudan marks a noteworthy contribution to the inventor...
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...
Quantitative susceptibility mapping (QSM) has been increasingly applied in longitudinal studies of neurodegenerative diseases and aging to assess temporal alterations in brain iron and myelin. The acc...
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...
Multimodal large language models (MLLMs) hold immense potential to revolutionize clinical practice, yet deploying them in the medical domain is fundamentally a vision-centric challenge: models must ab...
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...
