The mesopelagic zone, between 100 and 1000 m depth, contains up to 90% of marine vertebrate biomass. Mesopelagic fishes are key components of these ecosystems through their feeding interactions and pl...
The shipping industry faces urgent pressure to decarbonize in response to tightening regulations and growing concerns over marine pollution. Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) has emerged as a pivotal...
Microbial electrosynthesis is a metabolic process in which extracellular electrons are utilized as the primary energy source for carbon fixation. While microbial electrosynthesis has been proposed as ...
While CO2 fixation by photo- and chemolithoautotrophs is a central process of the global carbon cycle, many organisms also incorporate inorganic carbon into organic compounds through anaplerotic carbo...
Predicting the fate of microplastics (MPs) in the environment and assessing their potential environmental hazard is crucial in defining effective mitigation strategies. This paper presents a novel app...
Pervasive marine pollution can have devastating effects on ocean health. Polychlorinated Biphenyls (PCB), Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons (PAH), and Organochlorine Pesticides (OCP) are particularly r...
The rise of atmospheric oxygen fundamentally transformed Earth's surface environment and enabled the evolution of complex life. However, the processes driving long-term oxygen fluctuations remain poor...
Mesopelagic fishes transport a vast biomass of organic material between surface and deep waters through diel vertical migration (DVM), which plays a crucial role in both food web functioning and deep-...
"Rotten" sea ice, ice in an advanced stage of melt, represents an important but understudied habitat in the rapidly changing Arctic. As Arctic warming accelerates, this late-season ice type will becom...
Carbon in the asthenosphere is unevenly distributed, reflecting interactions between the depleted mantle and materials added by plumes or subducting slabs. Nevertheless, mid-ocean ridge basalts (MORB)...
In this paper, we present results that have important implications for understanding the sedimentation process and for evaluating the carbon cycle in deep-sea sediment of the southern Gulf of Mexico (...
Mangrove ecosystems are highly efficient natural carbon sinks, yet quantifying soil organic carbon density (SOCD) across stand ages is critical for evaluating restoration benefits. This study integrat...
During the Paleocene-Eocene Thermal Maximum (PETM), there was an increase in global temperatures and emissions of isotopically depleted carbon, resulting in a negative carbon isotope excursion (CIE). ...
Bacterial adaptation to fluctuations in salinity includes the intracellular accumulation of organic compounds called compatible solutes (CS) such as the amino acid derivatives ectoine and 5-hydroxyect...
Mangrove ecosystems are our most carbon-rich forests. They play a vital role in regulating carbon fluxes to the ocean (outwelling). These ecosystems are increasingly threatened by degradation. Here we...
Increasing global demand for nickel, an essential metal in low-carbon technologies and stainless steel, is driving a surge in mining in strongholds of tropical biodiversity. We use a global mine-by-mi...
The equilibrium between hydrated and hydrolysed forms of CO2 in water is central to a multitude of processes in geology, oceanography and biology. Chemistry of the carbonate system is well understood ...
Ocean dumping of sewage sludge at the East Sea "Byeong" (ES-B) deep-sea disposal site was prohibited in 2016 under strengthened national and international regulations. This study presents the first lo...
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 ...
Carbon fixation in marine ecosystems is a vital process that contributes to climate regulation, with ocean sediments playing a critical role in carbon sequestration. This process is driven by chemolit...
