Abstract: Abstract Manganese nodules are a potential source of critical metals such as Cu, Ni, and Co and are widely distributed on the abyssal plains of the global oceans. A polymetallic nodule metallogenic belt with a… read more here.

Abstract: The abyssal seafloor, that is, ocean depths of ∼3,000 to 6,000 m, is widely considered simply to be vast, featureless plains of sediment. For example, Wikipedia asserts that “abyssal plains cover more than 50% of… read more here.

Abstract: ABSTRACT The acoustic facies analyses have provided an important basis for sedimentary processes in the deep-sea environments. The echo-character mapping, through the interpretation and correlation of very high-resolution seismic profiles, is a very useful tool… read more here.
