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 ...

Among marine ecosystems, the capacity of mangroves, seagrass meadows and kelp forests to store carbon is well documented, but less is known about the sediments of the ocean floor. Two recent ...

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.

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 ...

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 ...

As previously highlighted by OWJ, Vattenfall and Metsähallitus awarded contracts to GEOxyz and Arctia for the geophysical ...
