Fouling organisms in marine litter (rafting on abiogenic substrates): a global review of literature

AA Póvoa, LF Skinner, FV de Araújo - Marine Pollution Bulletin, 2021 - Elsevier
One of the underestimated consequences of marine litter presence on marine environment

The seismo‐acoustics of submarine volcanic eruptions

G Tepp, RP Dziak - Journal of Geophysical Research: Solid …, 2021 - Wiley Online Library
Many of the world's volcanoes are hidden beneath the ocean's surface where eruptions are
difficult to observe. However, seismo‐acoustic signals produced by these eruptions provide …

Out of the blue: Volcanic SO2 emissions during the 2021–2022 eruptions of Hunga Tonga—Hunga Ha'apai (Tonga)

SA Carn, NA Krotkov, BL Fisher, C Li - Frontiers in Earth Science, 2022 - frontiersin.org
Most volcanism on Earth is submarine, but volcanic gas emissions by submarine eruptions
are rarely observed and hence largely unquantified. On 15 January 2022 a submarine …

Volcanic Island lightning prebiotic chemistry and the origin of life in the early Hadean eon

JL Bada - nature communications, 2023 - nature.com
The early Hadean eon (> 4Ga) may have had a periodically ice-covered global ocean and
limited subaerial landmass, and this could have resulted in infrequent lightning occurrence …

Sink or float: microtextural controls on the fate of pumice deposition during the 2012 submarine Havre eruption

SJ Mitchell, KE Fauria, BF Houghton, RJ Carey - Bulletin of Volcanology, 2021 - Springer
Silicic submarine volcanic eruptions can produce large volumes of pumices that may rise
buoyantly to the ocean surface and/or sink to the seafloor. For eruptions that release …
