Common marine spatial planning challenges include lack of data on the marine
environment, high mobility of both animals and humans, and plan implementation …

This chapter assesses the state of physical, biological and social knowledge concerning the
Arctic and Antarctic ocean and cryosphere, how they are affected by climate change, and …

The role of algae for sequestration of atmospheric mercury in the ocean is largely unknown
owing to a lack of marine sediment data. We used high-resolution cores from marine …

The global decrease in seawater pH known as ocean acidification has important ecological
consequences and is an imminent threat for numerous marine organisms. Even though the …

Development of global ocean observing capacity for the biological EOVs is on the cusp of a
step-change. Current capacity to automate data collection and processing and to integrate …

The use of organic food is of paramount importance in ensuring the safety of our food supply
and safeguarding the well-being of people worldwide. This study aims to add to existing …

Habitat-forming cold-water corals (CWCs) represent a key component of deep-sea benthic
communities and a priority target for conservation. Although research efforts have been …

In recent years, sea ice cover along coasts of East Antarctica has tended to increase. To
understand ecological implications of these environmental changes, we studied benthic …

When Antarctic glaciers retreat, high sediment loads from geomorphological and
glaciological sources can disturb the biota, especially filtering organisms, and thereby …

Seawater temperature is one of the main variables that determines cold-water coral
distribution worldwide. As part of an initiative to explore new areas of deep-sea habitats …
