Retrieval algorithms are used to estimate atmospheric concentrations of greenhouse gases (GHGs), such as carbon dioxide (CO2) and methane (CH4), by solving inverse problems from high-spectral-resoluti...
Anaerobic methanotrophic (ANME) archaea have been primarily documented by metagenomic analysis of environmental samples. The mechanisms that drive their diversification and speciation are poorly under...
Deep-sea chemosynthetic ecosystems, critical for global methane and sulphur cycling, require accurate connectivity data for effective conservation planning amid increasing anthropogenic threats. Becau...
Anaerobic oxidation of methane is a key process reducing methane emissions in oxygen-depleted marine environments such as deep-sea cold seeps. However, the stability and adaptability of microbial inte...
Large-eddy simulations (LES) require closures for filtered production rates because the resolved fields do not contain all correlations that govern chemical source terms. We develop a graph neural net...
Deep-sea methane seeps host diverse and abundant animal communities, including an extensive undescribed diversity of small cryptic invertebrates. We describe a new genus and species of neomphalid snai...
Anthropogenic and climatic perturbations threaten to destabilize gas hydrates and release methane from its vast subseafloor reservoir. Yet the deep-sea ecosystem responses remain poorly understood. Ou...
The anaerobic oxidation of methane and higher C2+ alkanes is a dominant metabolism within hydrocarbon-rich deep-sea sediments and is largely mediated by alkane-oxidizing archaea in metabolic partnersh...
Anaerobic oxidation of methane (AOM) mediated by archaea is a pivotal process for methane consumption in gas seepage-associated sediments. Despite its importance in regulating methane flux, the ecolog...
Microorganisms employ inorganic polyphosphate (polyP) as an ancient strategy for energy and phosphate storage, yet its physiological roles in methanogenic archaea remain largely unexplored. Here, we r...
Atmospheric organosulfur compounds play critical roles in marine chemistry and climate processes. Methane sulfonamide (MSAM), a recently detected organosulfur species in the Arabian Sea, is estimated ...
Cold-water coral reefs host diverse microbial communities that play key roles in nutrient cycling and deep-sea productivity. Among them, methylotrophic bacteria metabolize and cycle one-carbon (C1) co...
The faunas around methane seeps in the deep sea thrive on an in-situ food source and are thus expected to show no latitudinal gradients in their diversity. An analysis of 478 modern and 824 fossil (Cr...
The Gulf of Mexico/Gulf of America provides ecosystem services derived from marine biodiversity and oil and gas resources. Threats posed by unintended releases of oil and gas can be attenuated by micr...
