Deep, diverse and definitely different: unique attributes of the world's largest ecosystem
The deep sea, the largest biome on Earth, has a series of characteristics that make this
environment both distinct from other marine and land ecosystems and unique for the entire …

Geomorphology of the oceans
We present the first digital seafloor geomorphic features map (GSFM) of the global ocean.
The GSFM includes 131,192 separate polygons in 29 geomorphic feature categories, used …
