Ocean biodiversity loss is being driven by several anthropogenic threats and significant
efforts are required to halt losses and promote healthy marine ecosystems. The …

This study explores microplastic and cellulosic microparticle occurrences in the NE Atlantic,
focusing on the Porcupine Bank Canyon and Porcupine Seabight. Water samples from …

Abstract The Deep Ocean Observing Strategy (DOOS) is an international, community-driven
initiative that facilitates collaboration across disciplines and fields, elevates a diverse cohort …

Cold-water corals (CWCs) have come under threat from anthropogenic activities such as
fishing despite their ecological significance as biodiversity hotspots and as such are being …

Abstract Within the Porcupine Bank Canyon (NE Atlantic), cold-water coral (CWC) mounds
are mostly found clustered along the canyon lip, with individual disconnected mounds …

The geomorphology of the deep-sea environment is complex, including seamounts based
on hard rocks and seabeds based on rare soft sediments. Therefore, the frame of the benthic …

The marine environment is impacted by the increasing population and conflicts by industrial
activities in the coastal areas. Activities such as dum** of waste, port construction …

In this paper, a bio-inspired hybrid soft actuator unit that provides controllable drag to a
smaller lander was designed, created, and tested in the field. In the underwater …

Benthic lander systems can empower researchers with access to long-term high-resolution
data streams in challenging to access marine environments. In recent years, landers have …

Over the last 25 years, extensive geological investigations on coral mounds, seafloor
structures in the deep-sea built by ecosystem-engineering cold-water corals (CWC), have …
