Biogeomorphic wetlands cover 1% of Earth's surface but store 20% of ecosystem organic
carbon. This disproportional share is fueled by high carbon sequestration rates and effective …

Marine biofilms are ubiquitous in the marine environment. These complex microbial
communities rapidly respond to environmental changes and encompass hugely diverse …

An updated global bathymetry and topography grid is presented using a spatial sampling
interval of 15 arc sec. The bathymetry is produced using a combination of shipboard …

Microbial life in marine sediment contributes substantially to global biomass and is a crucial
component of the Earth system. Subseafloor sediment includes both aerobic and anaerobic …

Over the last decades, it has become clear that plastic pollution presents a global societal
and environmental challenge given its increasing presence in the oceans. A growing …

Abstract General Bathymetric Chart of the Oceans (GEBCO) has released the GEBCO_2014
grid, a new digital bathymetric model of the world ocean floor merged with land topography …

Plastic debris is a widespread contaminant, prevalent in aquatic ecosystems across the
globe. Zooplankton readily ingest microscopic plastic (microplastic,< 1 mm), which are later …

Lithium is a highly interesting metal, in part due to the increasing interest in lithium-ion
batteries. Several recent studies have used different methods to estimate whether the lithium …

Four common consumer plastic samples (polyethylene, polystyrene, polyethylene
terephthalate, polyvinylchloride) were studied to investigate the impact of physical …

Although pH is a fundamental property of Earth's oceans, critical to our understanding of
seawater biogeochemistry, its long-timescale geologic history is poorly constrained. We …
