The resuspension of seafloor sediments—triggered by human activities such as bottom trawling as well as natural processes ...

A study led by the Spanish Oceanography Institute, with the involvement of the UAB, reconstructs the recent history of marine ...

Coastal models enhance understanding of future flooding frequency on atoll islands, paving the way to explore the limits of adaptation in the face of rising sea levels and climate change.

Kane was struck by the high concentrations of microplastics found in the sediment, especially because Whittard Canyon is so ...

When bottom trawls are dragged across the seafloor, they stir up sediments. This not only releases previously stored organic carbon, but also intensifies the oxidation of pyrite, a mineral present in ...

Companies are preparing to move forward with seabed mining, but a method for gathering critical minerals from the seafloor ...

The new study provides the first quantitative evidence of this effect in the western Baltic Sea. “Fine-grained, muddy sediments are important reservoirs of organic carbon and pyrite,” says ...
