Abstract The Rio Grande Rise is an extensive seamount region in the South-western
Atlantic, with potential for deep-sea mining activities in the future. Such activities pose …

Dissolved oxygen (O2) is essential for most ocean ecosystems, fuelling organisms'
respiration and facilitating the cycling of carbon and nutrients. Oxygen measurements have …

Falling atmospheric CO2 levels led to cooling through the Eocene and the expansion of
Antarctic ice sheets close to their modern size near the beginning of the Oligocene, a period …

The Rio Grande Rise (RGR) is a large elevation in the Atlantic Ocean and known to host
potential mineral resources of ferromanganese crusts (Fe–Mn), but no investigation into their …

Abstract The Oligocene–Miocene (OM) depositional sequences (Asmari Formation) are
marked by remarkable changes in thickness, lithology, depositional facies characteristics …

Marine phosphorites are an important part of the oceanic phosphorus cycle and are related
to the effects of long‐term global climate changes. We use petrography, mineralogy, rare …

The reorganisation of Earth's climate system from the Oligocene to the Miocene was
influenced by complex interactions between Tethyan tectonics, orbital parameters …

Ferromanganese (FeMn) crusts at the summit of Rio Grande Rise (RGR)(625–850 m) in the
southwest Atlantic Ocean show two contrasting generations, an older, typically thicker one …

Culture experiments with coccolithophore algae—the dominant group of marine calcifying
phytoplankton—imply a strong sensitivity in growth rate, degree of cellular calcification, and …

This study investigates the interplay between hydrodynamics, sediment dynamics, and
topography in the Rio Grande Rise (RGR) area. It addresses bedforms found in five different …
