Writing in Nature, Lars Peter Nielsen and colleagues now describe how bacteria in marine sediments use electrical currents to couple biogeochemical processes that are spatially separated on a ...

Two new reports showing the extent of carbon storage in the marine sediments around the coasts of Canada and the U.K. are helping to build the case for greater protection of the seabed ...

The calls come after a series of reports estimate high levels of carbon being stored within the top 10cm of seabed sediments. The storage of so-called 'blue carbons' can help reduce the amount of ...

We are part of a group of scientists who set out to address that problem, and our recent study details the creation of the first high-resolution maps of carbon in Canada's seabed sediments.

Off the coast of Blekinge, in southern Sweden, at a depth of around 50–60 meters, the bottom sediment has scars that are tens ...

Tiny fragments of plastic have been found buried in seabed sediment more than 150 years old. Scientists discovered the microplastics in core samples taken 2,200m (7,218ft) below the surface of the ...

Deep seabed minerals are therefore increasingly ... often partially buried in fine grain sediments. Nodules contain a wide variety of metals, including manganese, iron, copper, nickel, cobalt ...
