The hadal zone, mostly comprising of deep trenches and constituting of the deepest part of
the world's oceans, represents the least explored habitat but one of the last frontiers on our …

Internal tides are energetic in the Mariana arc, but their three‐dimensional radiation and
dissipation remain unexplored, particularly the trench‐arc‐basin impacts. Here, the …

The hadal environment is the deepest part of the ocean and harbors a significant number of
unique microbial communities. Here, we collected core sediment samples of Southern Yap …

Current research focus on using Generic Mapping Tools (GMT) cartographic scripting toolset
for geodata processing aimed to visualize and compare geomorphic cross-section profiles of …

Metagenomic explorations of the Earth's biosphere enable the discovery of previously
unknown bacterial lineages of phylogenetic and ecological significance. Here, we retrieved …

The deep-sea autonomous underwater vehicle (AUV) is equipment of vital importance for
ocean exploration, monitoring, and surveying. With a variable buoyancy system (VBS), AUV …

Korarchaeota, due to its rarity in common environments, is one of the archaeal phyla that
has received the least attention from researchers. It was previously thought to consist solely …

Abyssal flow pathways in the Yap Trench and adjacent regions were investigated by
computing geostrophic flows and analyzing water properties. Using boundary values of …

The composition and concentration of dissolved free amino acid (DFAA) of seawater
samples collected in May 2016 from the surface to the hadal zone of the northern region of …

Two sediment cores were retrieved in the hadal zone of the Yap Trench, and their
