Microbially mediated manganese (Mn) oxidation is a key process in the biogeochemical cycling of Mn. While Shewanella is widely recognized for its metal-reducing capabilities, recent studies have shown...
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 ...
Deep-sea extreme environments harbor microorganisms with unique adaptive mechanisms. Fungi play significant ecological roles in these ecosystems, yet the regulatory pathways governing their adaptation...
Seafloor litter has become a growing environmental concern to marine ecosystems and coastal economies. To better understand the environmental behavior of seafloor litter, it is important to characteri...
The development of supramolecular materials has opened up unprecedented opportunities for smart, responsive systems. Yet, their practical application in extreme environments-deep space, deep sea, pola...
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...
The Central Arctic Ocean is undergoing rapid environmental change associated with sea-ice retreat. The sea-ice bottom and adjacent under-ice waters are key zones for particulate organic matter (POM) a...
Marine oil spills are globally widespread, posing significant threats to marine wildlife. While the spatial and temporal distribution of oil concentrations in the environment can be modeled with high ...
The anaerobic oxidation of methane and higher C2+ alkanes is a dominant metabolism within hydrocarbon-rich deep-sea sediments and is largely mediated by alkane-oxidizing archaea in metabolic partnersh...
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...
Monitoring whale vocalization is of scientific importance and has practical value for marine ecology, hydroacoustics, and geophysics. Conventional monitoring approaches, including hydrophone arrays, o...
Microplastic contamination in aquatic ecosystems has emerged as a major environmental concern due to its potential impact on marine organisms and human health. The present study investigates the abund...
Locating and identifying underwater bodies is challenging because underwater images are often low-luminance, turbid, and have ambiguous backgrounds. Object detection and computer vision technologies a...
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...
