Today, relatively warm Circumpolar Deep Water is melting Thwaites Glacier at the base of its ice shelf and at the grounding zone, contributing to significant ice retreat. Accelerating ice loss has bee...
Antarctic marine food webs are expected to be significantly impacted by future climate change. In particular, the recent rapid regional warming in the West Antarctic Peninsula has, and will continue t...
Linear ultrasonic motors (LUSMs) occupy an important position in the field of high-precision actuation due to their advantages of simple structure, high control accuracy and direct linear motion gener...
Multinucleate cells - single cells containing multiple nuclei in a shared cytoplasm - are found across the eukaryotic tree of life. Having evolved independently in fungi, plants, protists, and animals...
The Greenland shark (Somniosus microcephalus) is a deep-sea vertebrate inhabiting the cold waters of the North Atlantic and Arctic Ocean and is renowned for its exceptional longevity, with individuals...
The concentrations of iron (Fe), zinc (Zn), copper (Cu), manganese (Mn) and cadmium (Cd) were analyzed in muscle, liver, kidney and lung tissue samples, and stable carbon and nitrogen isotopes were me...
The Arabian Gulf is a semi-enclosed sea with shallow waters. Its marine fauna must cope with extreme and recurring environmental conditions (high summer temperatures, hypersalinity, hypoxia). In addit...
Accurate measurement of sea-surface winds is critical for climate science, physical oceanography, and the rapidly expanding offshore wind energy sector. Buoy-based platforms-moored meteorological buoy...
Seaweed cultivation is gaining global significance due to its nutritional, pharmaceutical, and environmental benefits. However, large-scale commercialization faces challenges such as processing ineffi...
Accurate motion prediction of floating platforms is critical for ensuring operational safety in offshore engineering applications or marine equipment testing. However, the strong nonlinearity and non-...
A marine hydrocarbonoclastic actinobacterium Kocuria flava IOS11 was isolated from 3500 m deep-sea water of the Indian Ocean. The isolate efficiently degraded phenanthrene (250 mg/L) achieving 82 and ...
Intertidal rockweed beds are often described as climate refuges for species, buffering harsh environmental conditions. Due to problems such as ocean warming, ocean acidification, eutrophication and tr...
The Arctic Ocean is increasingly stressed by anthropogenic pollution and rapid environmental change. River discharge plays a crucial role in this transition by delivering freshwater, nutrients, carbon...
Ships of opportunity provide a platform to assess marine pollution without dedicated field campaigns, offering a cost-effective means to expand monitoring coverage. In this study, a microplastic sampl...
High-frequency underwater acoustic field modeling is challenging for physics-informed neural networks (PINNs) due to the strongly oscillatory nature of acoustic pressure fields. Building upon the Ocea...
Penetration testing, the practice of simulating cyberattacks to identify vulnerabilities, is a complex sequential decision-making task that is inherently partially observable and features large action...
Multi-turn LLM agents are increasingly important for solving complex, interactive tasks, and reinforcement learning (RL) is a key ingredient for improving their long-horizon behavior. However, RL trai...
Molluscan shells come in various shapes and sizes. Despite this diversity, each species produces a shell with a characteristic shape that is independent of environmental conditions. We seek to underst...
The rapid development of large language models and multimodal large language models has accelerated the emergence of proactive agents capable of operating everyday tools and assisting users in real-wo...
