Whereas the surface morphology before degradation (original) was very smooth, the surfaces of the samples after placement on the shore or the deep-sea floor were observed to be uneven, and degradation was in progress. This kind of degradation that creates unevenness on the surface of the ...
2021a), where it was pointed out that noise harmonics appear in spectra at depths of more than 15 m because the surface waves have faded to the instrumentation noise floor of the devices and the nonlinear constituents of the surface gravity waves have strengthened. Fortunately, this is of no...
Leakages of cold, methane-rich fluids from subsurface reservoirs to the sea floor are termed cold seeps. Recent exploration of the deep sea has shed new light on the microbial communities in cold seeps. However, conventional metagenomic methods largely r
The explosion as gases are vented through the straw to the ship's drill floor could cause serious damage, or worse yet, the change in the density of the sea water as the gas bubbles are released into the overlying ocean could cause the ship to sink. With no system to control the ...
Summary A high-resolution non-hydrostatic and fully nonlinear setup is used in the MITgcm to simulate the internal wave field along the Ten-Degree Channel of the Andaman Sea. Previous studies12,13 revealed the propagation of unusually long-lived mode-2 solitary-like waves along this particular ...
(Fig. 3), as silvery coloration would serve to “announce” an organism when lit from the side by bioluminescence. Near the deep-sea floor, animals become monochromatically brown, gray, or semi-transparent—the lack of light precludes the need for distinctive coloration, or even hiding for ...

The smart layout aims at combining density with guest privacy. While the lounge packs close to 90 seats in a relatively compact space, the play of angles, high-backed chairs, the large walkway, floor lamps, and convivial coffee tables break out the space and foster a feeling of serenity and...
[7,51,68] was severely reduced and eventually breached allowing sea water to penetrate between the base of the glacier rampart and the sea floor, hence floating the rampart and transforming it into a calving ice shelf. At that stage, the marginal part of the IIS was more receptive than ...
However, if anoxic upwelling events led to poorly oxygenated water transported across the shelf, the possibility exists that such waters could temporarily cut off the supply of oxygenated waters to the shallow sea floor, without the need for comprehensive invasion of anoxic water onto the shelf. ...
