Research shows abyssal seafloor processes are crucial for trace metal cycling, influencing ocean chemistry and enhancing our ...

Petro- or rock-derived organic carbon (Petro-OC) is found in sedimentary rocks and released on weathering into soils. The authors emphasize that there are several outstanding questions to answer ...

Often, these micro-oxic regions are found in the sediment rather than in open water, so that magnetotactic bacteria typically live in a sedimentary environment that is sand or mud. We thus prepare ...

Nowadays, a 3-D sub-bottom profiler (SBP) can produce the point clouds of the subseabed and is gradually receiving more attention in getting geologically significant surfaces to reveal sedimentary ...

Sedimentary rocks are often a particular focus of investigations, because they can contain evidence of water—and therefore life—on Mars. For example, the NASA Perseverance rover is currently ...

The Grand Canyon may rewrite the textbooks on the Cambrian Explosion —a key turning point in Earth's history when there was a sudden boom in complex life and the emergence of all the major ...
