How to map the resilience of hydrothermal vent fields: a tutorial. Verson 1.
(Japan Agency for Marine-Earth Science and Technology (JAMSTEC), Yokosuka-city, Kanagawa, Japan, 2019)
One of the targets for commercial mining is the Seafloor Massive Sulfides (SMSs) deposits
formed around hydrothermal vents, which is a highly attractive source of copper, zinc, lead,
gold and silver ores (Hoagland 2010, ...
A new small device made of glass for separating microplastics from marine and freshwater sediments.
(2019)
Separating microplastics from marine and freshwater sediments is challenging, but
necessary to determine their distribution, mass, and ecological impacts in benthic
environments. Density separation is commonly used to ...
Sediment sampling with a core sampler equipped with aluminum tubes and an onboard processing protocol to avoid plastic contamination
(2019)
Microplastics are abundant even on the deep-sea
floor far from land and the ocean surface where human
activities take place. To obtain samples of microplastics from the deep-sea
floor, a research vessel and suitable
sampling ...
