DOI: 10.1002/lno.10532
Abstract: Inputs of detritus from the surface ocean are an important driver of community dynamics in the deep sea. The assessment of the flow of carbon through the benthic food web gives insight into how the… read more here.

DOI: 10.1029/2021gl094322
Abstract: As the abyssal oceans warm, stratification is also expected to change in response. This change may impact mixing and vertical transport by altering the buoyancy flux, internal wave generation, and turbulent dissipation. In this study,… read more here.

DOI: 10.1038/s41598-021-90459-1
Abstract: Ocean sediments are the largest sink for mercury (Hg) sequestration and hence an important part of the global Hg cycle 1 . Yet accepted global average Hg flux data for deep-ocean sediments (> 200 m depth)… read more here.
