"That's a stunning result" (comment from audience) as Prof Andrew Sweetman presents evidence of unexpected oxygen generation in abyssal sediments. How is it happening? Unsolved mystery here at @150_challenger #Challenger150

A huge congratulations to @MartaMCecchetto at the @LyellCentre on passing her PhD viva today on the how the APEIs in the Clarion-Clipperton Zone are preserving seafloor ecosystem functioning. It was a privilege to supervise you the last few years. Onwards and upwards.

Time magazine just published a story on deep-sea mining, which I contributed to. time.com/6094560/deep-sea-mi…
Seabed Mining May Solve Our Energy Crisis. But At What Cost?

Seabed Mining May Solve Our Energy Crisis. But At What Cost?

Mining polymetallic nodules could power 4.8 billion electric vehicles—at a cost to biodiversity and life on earth
