The deep sea contains a wealth of potential mineral resources, many of which are being investigated for commercial exploitation. Exploration and technical tests started in the late 1970s with an initi...
Deep-sea mining in polymetallic nodule areas poses significant risks to the marine carbon sink. This study investigated the vertical distribution and three-dimensional fluorescence spectral characteri...
Prompt-based learning has emerged as a dominant paradigm in natural language processing. This study explores the impact of diverse pre-training objectives on the performance of encoder-decoder pre-tra...
The emergence of metaverse platforms has created virtual economies that introduce new challenges related to fraud, bot activity, and illicit financial behavior. Despite growing interest in trustworthy...
The northwestern Pacific (NWP) encompasses diverse oceanographic regimes, with the confluence of the warm Kuroshio and the cold Oyashio forming a seasonally shifting ecotone characterized by strong en...
Marine systems worldwide are suffering escalating impacts from biological invasions, with increasing threats projected for the future. Despite substantial financial investments in managing marine inva...
Research on sea spiders in China is relatively scarce and there is a severe shortage of regional basic data. In earlier studies, there was a lack of attention given to this small group and museums hou...
Upper ocean vertical velocities link surface properties to the ocean interior and are typically intensified at small-scale fronts. The small footprint of these velocities and their intermittent nature...
Larval migration plays an essential role in determining the distribution and evolution of invertebrate animals endemic to hydrothermal vents-disjunct and ephemeral habitats in the deep sea. However, t...
The two-dimensional propagation of small-amplitude waves through an infinite periodic array of freely-floating rectangular floes is considered under the assumptions of inviscid linearised wave theory....
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 existence of allocations of indivisible goods that are simultaneously fair (envy-free up to one item (EF1)) and efficient (Pareto optimal (PO)) when agents have monotone submodular valuations has ...
The release of heavy metals from commercial deep-sea mining is likely to be a long-term process lasting decade, and therefore fish communities are actually exposed to a chronic, ongoing stressor. Howe...
While Bayesian methods are increasingly used in clinical research, confusion persists as to whether Bayesian designs are affected by repeated interim analyses, and how such effects should be evaluated...
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...
Earth observation satellites transform our understanding of Earth's biological, atmospheric, and surface systems. The Plankton, Aerosol, Cloud, ocean Ecosystem (PACE) mission, launched in 2024, repres...
Uncertainty estimation for Vision-Language-Navigation (VLN) models is a critical task since it can help identify ambiguous and unreliable predictions, enabling agents to make safer navigation decision...
Idiomarina sp. D18 is a deep-sea marine bacterium isolated from seawater at a depth of 5069 m in the western Pacific Ocean. The complete genome of strain D18 consists of a circular chromosome of 2,765...
