Continental shelf sediments are places of both rapid organic carbon turnover and
accumulation, while at the same time increasingly subjected to human-induced …

Mud depocenters (MDCs) represent major proximal-marine sinks for fine-grained
terrigenous material, carbon, and contaminants on modern continental shelves. Throughout …

The seafloor is increasingly being used for siting renewable energy and telecommunication
infrastructure as well as supporting key fisheries and biodiversity. Understanding seabed …

A computational model has been used to explore characteristics of the barotropic tide
around the Welsh coast in detail for the first time. Proper understanding of tidal …

The seabed of the Western Irish Sea Mud Belt (north Irish Sea) comprises a thick sequence
of fine-grained Holocene marine sediments that overlay complex glacial deposits. The …

Sediment fluxes to the seafloor govern the fate of elements and compounds in the ocean
and serve as a prerequisite for research on elemental cycling, benthic processes and …

A curious phenomenon found in phytoplankton communities is the forming of socalled thin
layers, wherein phytoplankton biomass can stretch out kilometres in the horizontal but only a …

Marine sediments are significant long-term stores of carbon. Carbon burial within sediments
has provided a climate regulation service over geological timescales. Despite marine …
