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...
Mesophotic coral ecosystems (MCEs; ∼30 to 150 meters) are major but poorly understood benthic habitats. We used Autonomous Reef Monitoring Structures (ARMS) and integrated metabarcoding (mtCOI and 18S...
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...
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 ...
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...
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...
While chemosymbiosis offers deep-sea bathymodioline mussels a critical metabolic advantage, this dependence makes them vulnerable when removed from their native environment, and their early post-recov...
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...
The habitats of the pearl oyster (Pinctada maxima Jameson, 1901) are facing competition from anthropogenic activities, particularly tourism, which is prevalent in the Southeast Asian region. This situ...
The Indo-Pacific humpback dolphin (Sousa chinensis) and the Indo-Pacific finless porpoise (Neophocaena phocaenoides) are increasingly threatened by anthropogenic activity, however the relative influen...
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...
