Deep-sea ferromanganese minerals (manganese nodules and cobalt-rich crusts) are
abundant in Co, Ni, Cu, Mn, and other metal resources, which are critical metals to support …

Deep-ocean ferromanganese crusts and manganese nodules are important marine
repositories for global metals. Interest in these minerals as potential resources has led to …

With the increase in demand for metal resources, research on deep-sea polymetallic nodule
mining has been reinvigorated, but the problem of its environmental impact cannot be …

Deep-water seamount ecosystems are sensitive to human activities and have a slow
recovery rate after being disturbed. Bottom trawling and potential deep-sea mineral …

High-resolution map** of deep-sea polymetallic nodules is needed (a) to understand the
reasons behind their patchy distribution,(b) to associate nodule coverage with benthic fauna …

With the consumption of terrestrial metal resources, deep-sea polymetallic nodule minerals
have been widely exploited around the world. Therefore, the environmental impact of deep …

Ocean manganese nodules are rich in Mn, and also contain the strategic metals Cu, Co, and
Ni. In this study, a sustainable low-temperature roasting and water leaching process for …

Ferromanganese nodules are cm‐sized, authigenic, abyssal manganese‐iron‐hydroxide
concretions. They grow very slowly at rates of a few mm per million years. Although their …

Herein, the morphological characteristics of submarine archipelagic aprons were presented
for five guyots, Suda, Arnold, Lamont, Niulang, and Zhinyv, which are over 80 Ma years old …

The late-stage evolution of seamounts is widespread in the West Pacific and may control the
distribution of manganese nodules on the lower seamount flanks and adjacent debris …
