Marine ferromanganese nodules and crusts containing Mn, Cu, Ni and Co in the most
promising resource-grade concentrations and quantities, together with Fe and Zn (all …

Bacterial participation in the formation of ferromanganese (Fe-Mn) mineral deposits is highly
debated, as the precipitation of metals could occur by both chemical and biologically …

The hadal zone at trenches is a unique region where forearc mantle rocks are directly
exposed at the ocean floor owing to tectonic erosion. Circulation of seawater in the mantle …

Ferromanganese nodules (FMNs), simultaneously termed as manganese nodules, are
metallic concretions typically found in the B horizon of iron and manganese-rich soils. These …

Confined by the Mid-Atlantic Ridge and the European continental shelf, the deep-sea acorn
barnacle Bathylasma hirsutum (Hoek, 1883) lives in the northeast Atlantic deep sea, where it …

Expanded polystyrene (EPS) has characteristics distinctively different to many
thermoplastics that strongly influence its behaviour in the marine environment. However, the …

Direct seafloor sampling using, eg, box corers is insufficient to obtain an acceptable
accuracy of nodule resource estimates in small parts of potential deposits. In order to …

Ferromanganese nodules are huge metal resources and windows into Earth processes,
being widely distributed in vast deep-sea basins covered by sediments. Co-rich …

Carbonate skeletal remains are altered and disintegrate at yearly to decadal scales in
present‐day shallow‐marine environments with intense bioerosion and dissolution. Present …

Abstract The Aptian-Albian boundary is a deeply investigated time interval on the basis of
the deep oceanographic, environmental and climatic changes, globally recorded along the …
