Hurricanes move massive amounts of sediment from shallow reefs to deep oceans, affecting ecosystems long-term.

On the abyssal plains, at depths between 3,000 and 6,000 meters, polymetallic nodules are scattered across millions of square ...

Mining of polymetallic nodules from the seabed might lead to significant and long-lasting ecological changes -- both in the mined area, where surface sediments and the fauna living in and on it are ...

Inspired by the humble deep-sea sponge, RMIT University engineers have developed a new material with remarkable compressive strength and stiffness that could improve architectural and product designs.
