Environmental DNA (eDNA) offers a non-invasive approach for monitoring cetaceans, yet its widespread application from operational platforms requires standardized and feasible sampling workflows. This ...
The stomiiforms are a diverse radiation of ray-finned fishes found in pelagic deep-sea environments, with taxa encompassing the barbeled dragonfishes including more than 350 species placed in the fami...
Optical trawl surveys provide a non-invasive method for quantifying groundfish populations and can be used to complement or enhance traditional bottom trawl survey data. This protocol describes the Sc...
Ocean alkalinity enhancement (OAE) is proposed as a potential tool to remove atmospheric CO2 and mitigate climate change. However, the effects of OAE on marine protozoa remain poorly understood. In th...
Paint-derived particles are increasingly recognised as a major contributor to marine microplastic pollution, yet emissions from active vessels under routine operational conditions remain poorly charac...
Managing marine pollution from expanded polystyrene (EPS) is a critical environmental challenge, yet reliable empirical data on the actual recovery burden are often lacking. This investigation address...
This study investigated the long-term persistence of drilling waste (DW) in unconsolidated deep-sea sediments of the Ulleung Basin three years after gas hydrate drilling at Site UBGH2-6. Seafloor imag...
Dimethylsulfoniopropionate (DMSP) is one of the most important organic sulfur compounds in the ocean and plays a key role in polar carbon and sulfur cycles. Sulfitobacter sp. M13, a Gram-negative and ...
As a prevalent congener of polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs), 2,2',4,4'-tetrabromodiphenyl ether (BDE-47) poses significant environmental and health risks due to its persistence and bioaccumulati...
Antarctica's remote wilderness is increasingly impacted by human activities such as tourism, scientific research, and historical and contemporary exploitation of marine resources. Despite regulatory m...
With the help of harsh propagation environments, reliable data acquisition in UWSNs/UGWSNs may suffer from packet loss a few times, extra communication latency, energy scarcity, and retransmission ove...
Round-the-world ocean races such as The Ocean Race and the Vendée Globe expose sailors to some of the planet's most remote and extreme marine environments, creating a unique opportunity to study both ...
Financial options are fundamental to traditional markets, enabling strategies ranging from hedging to speculating. Yet, while the Automated Market Maker paradigm has revolutionized decentralized spot ...
Spatial heterogeneity in insurance risk modelling is often represented using coarse areal structures, which can obscure fine-scale patterns critical for accurate risk assessment. This study introduces...
Spatial reasoning over three-dimensional scenes is a core capability for embodied intelligence, yet continuous model improvement remains bottlenecked by the cost of geometric annotation. The self-evol...
This thesis studies policy learning in interactive systems where an agent observes a context, selects an action from a very large set, and receives partial feedback. The main framework is contextual b...
Azooxanthellate scleractinian corals, which lack symbiotic dinoflagellates, occur from shallow waters to deep-sea environments. In deep-sea benthic ecosystems, they serve as foundation species and are...
Photosynthetic microorganisms are responsible for primary production at the base of the marine food web and influence global biogeochemistry. Their growth is balanced by mortality processes, including...
The seafloor is the ultimate sink for most litter worldwide. Although significant efforts have been made over the past two decades to assess the impact of litter on marine ecosystems, collecting quant...
