Although most deep-sea areas are remote in comparison to coastal zones, a growing body
of literature indicates that many sensitive ecosystems could be under increased stress from …

Industrial deep-sea mining will release plumes containing metals that may disperse over
long distances; however, there is no general understanding of metal effects on marine …

Pipeline internal flow has a significant influence on the transportation process of the entire
deep ocean mining. Since the internal flow is a solid-liquid mixed fluid, the CFD-DEM …

Ecological risk assessment for deep-sea mining is challenging, given the data-poor state of
knowledge of deep-sea ecosystem structure, process, and vulnerability. Polling and a scale …

Solid–liquid two-phase flow with dense coarse particles in the pipeline exists widely in
energy and resources engineering, especially in the prospective hydraulic lifting scenario of …

The global economy is increasingly focusing on the Oceans to meet its needs, for which
maritime spatial planning is being fostered to promote this is done sustainably. Thus …

Habitat-forming cold-water corals (CWCs) represent a key component of deep-sea benthic
communities and a priority target for conservation. Although research efforts have been …

Deep-sea Bathymodiolus mussels are ubiquitous in most cold seeps and hydrothermal
fields, where they have adapted to various toxic environments including high metal …

The exploration and exploitation of mineral resources in the international seabed area is
conducive to alleviate the global resource crisis. However, these activities are facing huge …

Deep-sea polymetallic nodule mining is expected to start within the next decade. There is
currently a pressing need to develop best practices to minimise the potential environmental …
