Insights into the biodiversity of annelids in the world’s largest deep-sea mineral exploration region
The demand for rare raw materials, such as cobalt, is fuelling the exploration of the deep-sea floor for mining.
Study on methane in deep-sea sediments shows small releases happen more often than thought
A team of scientists led by a Brown University researcher has developed a new method for monitoring when deep sea methane deposits convert to gas and rise toward the seafloor in amounts that were previously too small to detect.
