Hydrocarbon seeps, deep sea extreme environments where deeply sourced fluids
discharge at the seabed, occur along continental margins across the globe. Energy-rich …

Abstract The Arctic Ocean is overwhelmingly forced by its lateral boundaries, and interacts
with, the global system. For the development of nested conceptual models of the Arctic …

Abstract The Central Arctic Ocean is one of the most oligotrophic oceans on Earth because
of its sea-ice cover and short productive season. Nonetheless, across the peaks of extinct …

Persistent organic pollutants (POPs) are highly toxic and can accumulate in marine
organisms, causing nonnegligible harm to the global marine ecosystem. The Cold seep is …

Methane seep communities on the Koryak slope in the Bering Sea were discovered in 2018
during the 82 nd cruise of the RV Akademik MA Lavrentyev using ROV Comanche 18 …

Cold seeps are characterized by high biomass, which is supported by the microbial
oxidation of the available methane by capable microorganisms. The carbon is subsequently …

Cold-seep megafaunal communities around gas hydrate mounds (**os) in the western
Barents Sea (76∘ N, 16∘ E,∼ 400 m depth) were investigated with high-resolution …

Cold-seep benthic communities in the Arctic exist at the nexus of two extreme environments;
one reflecting the harsh physical extremes of the Arctic environment and another reflecting …

Seamounts are isolated underwater mountains stretching> 1000 m above the seafloor. They
are identified as biodiversity hotspots of marine life, and host benthic assemblages that may …

Bottom sediments at methane discharge sites of the Laptev Sea shelf were investigated. The
rates of microbial methanogenesis and methane oxidation were measured, and the …
