Vapour explosions are a known hazard with potentially devastating consequences in several industries. They might occur when a hot liquid comes into direct contact with a cold and volatile liquid. Eutectic PbS-Cu2S droplet impingement experiments were performed to investigate the effect of the coolant composition on the vapour explosion behaviour. T...

The rapid development of blue economy and human use of offshore space triggered the concept of co-location of ma-rine activities and is causing diverse local pressures on the environment. These pressures add to, and interact with, global challenges such as ocean acidification and warming. This study investigates the combined pressures of climate ch...
The assumption that boron concentration is a conservative property in seawater may not hold in polar seas where there is sea ice formation, ice melt and brine release, according to an analysis of Arctic brines, snow and sea ice samples. The Arctic Ocean is experiencing a net loss of sea ice. Ice-free Septembers are predicted by 2050 with intensifie...

Hourly (2017-2021) to seasonal (2015-2021) inorganic C data were collected at the Ieodo Ocean Research Station (32.07 degrees N and 125.10 degrees E) in the northern East China Sea (ECS), located under the influence of the nutrient-rich Changjiang Diluted Water (CDW). An increase in phytoplankton biomass from April to mid-August (the warming period...

Effective data management plays a key role in oceanographic research as cruise-based data, collected from different laboratories and expeditions, are commonly compiled to investigate regional to global oceanographic processes. Here we describe new and updated best practice data standards for discrete chemical oceanographic observations, specificall...
The corrosion of offshore reinforced concrete structures under combined chloride and sulfate ions attack is a complex corrosion phenomenon. The purpose of this study is to develop numerical models in conjunction with experimental studies for long-term durability assessment of offshore concrete structures. A numerical model was developed to describe...
The contributions of phytoplankton and bacteria cells to alkalinity (A(T)) were measured in seawater samples obtained from 205 locations including the East Sea, the North Pacific Ocean, the Bering Sea, the Chukchi Sea, and the Arctic Ocean. We attributed the differences in A(T) values measured for unfiltered versus filtered samples to A(T) componen...
