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...
One of the main objectives of the "Program for the Assessment of the Sustainable Potential of Living Resources in the Brazilian Exclusive Economic Zone" (REVIZEE) was to produce a comprehensive invent...
Underwater mass spectrometry (UMS) enables the in-situ detection of dissolved gases based on their mass-to-charge ratios, providing strong chemical specificity, high anti-interference capability, and ...
Autonomous Underwater Vehicles (AUVs) are widely employed for deep sea exploration and underwater operations, but their navigation performance is often degraded in complex environments due to time-var...
Marine deep-sea environments harbour microorganisms with extraordinary biosynthetic potential, yet their secondary metabolite repertoires remain largely uncharacterised. This study reports the isolati...
Petroleum pollution poses a significant threat to marine ecosystems, extending its impact to deep-sea environments. Cold seeps represent unique deep-sea ecosystems and are natural hotspots for studyin...
Triboelectric nanogenerators (TENGs), which operate independently of sunlight or fuel, can effectively harvest deep-sea mechanical energy (such as ocean currents and fluctuations) to power long-term l...
Microplastic pollution is a major environmental problem affecting ecosystems, wildlife and people worldwide. Microplastics are solid synthetic polymer particles > 5 mm, insoluble in water and potentia...
The exploration of marine environments is crucial, yet the extreme conditions of the deep-sea, combined with the segregated signal processing in current sensor technologies, lead to bulky systems, hig...
The global ocean receives an estimated 15 teragrams of plastic annually, yet less than 0.2% of this mass is detected floating at the surface. This imbalance, known as the "missing plastic paradox," in...
Viruses are the most abundant biological entities on Earth. Metagenomic data indicates a higher viral abundance of viruses of unicellular eukaryotes in the polar regions, information still not matched...
Chitosan, derived from marine resources and insects, is biodegradable, non-toxic, and chemically tunable, which makes it a good candidate in green technology. Recent improvements in chitosan composite...
Methane (CH4), a key component of combustible ice, is a plentiful yet largely underutilized ocean resource. Its extreme inertness and the complexity of its storage and transportation have severely hin...
As the Gulf of Maine warms, characterizing seasonal baseline levels of the human pathogen Vibrio parahaemolyticus (Vp) in Eastern oysters (Crassostrea virginica) is crucial, along with synoptic enviro...
Microplastics (MPs) have been increasingly reported in deep-sea sediments, yet their occurrence and hydrodynamic controls in trench environments, particularly those influenced by contemporary turbidit...
Primary production in coastal upwelling regions has often been presumed to be supported primarily by allochthonous nutrients, but inconsistent nutrient delivery and the metabolic cost of nitrate assim...
Climate change and invasive species both independently threaten marine biodiversity but can also interact. Invasive species often possess traits that not only promote their success in novel environmen...
Shewanella sp. FeAMO (=MCCC M27737) and Shewanella sp. JL219SE-S6 (=MCCC M29292) were isolated from hydrothermal sediments from Wocan-1 hydrothermal field (6°22'N, 60°32'E, at a depth of 2995 m) and T...
Zooplankton play a crucial role in marine food webs and biogeochemical cycles, and their rapid responses to environmental changes make them effective indicators of ecosystem health. However, limited d...
Coastal ecosystems are threatened by global change but remain understudied despite their importance for biodiversity and human society. For instance, most coastal studies and monitoring programs focus...
