In-situ sedimentary evidence of complex bottom currents at a modern deepwater seamount Open
Interactions between deep-ocean currents and seafloor sediments create bedforms that are important for paleoenvironment reconstructions, resource exploration, and mapping ecosystems. Oceanographers recognize complex flow dynamics where dee…

Rising snow line: Ocean acidification and the submergence of seafloor geomorphic features beneath a rising carbonate compensation depth Open
Due to burning of fossil fuels, carbon dioxide is being absorbed by the ocean where its chemical conversion to carbonic acid has already caused the surface ocean to become more acidic than it has been for at least the last 2 million years.…

How to Meet New Global Targets in the Offshore Realms: Biophysical Guidelines for Offshore Networks of No-Take Marine Protected Areas Open
Networks of no-take marine protected areas (MPAs), where all extractive activities are prohibited, are the most effective tool to directly protect marine ecosystems from destructive and unsustainable human activities. No-take MPAs and MPA …

Arctic marine conservation is not prepared for the coming melt Open
As the summer minimum in Arctic sea ice cover reduces in area year by year due to anthropogenic global climate change, so interest grows in the un-tapped oil, gas and fisheries resources that were previously concealed beneath. We show that…

Ecological Role of Submarine Canyons and Need for Canyon Conservation: A Review Open
Submarine canyons are major geomorphic features of continental margins around the world. Several recent multidisciplinary projects focused on the study of canyons have considerably increased our understanding of their ecological role, the …
