Chemosynthesis is a metabolic process that transfers carbon to the biosphere using reduced compounds. It is well recognised that chemosynthesis occurs in much of the ocean, but it is often thought to be a negligible process compared to photosynthesis. Here we propose that chemosynthesis is the underlying process governing primary production in much...

Amongst the increasing number of anthropogenic stress factors threatening ocean equilibrium, microplastics (MP; 50 mg m−3. Despite their oligotrophic nature and limited contribution to the overall ocean carbon cycle, MP impacts on zooplankton grazing could disrupt carbon cycling in these highly contaminated regions (up to 50% reduction in yearly p...

Microbial respiration is a critical component of the marine carbon cycle, determining the proportion of fixed carbon that is subject to remineralization as opposed to being available for export to the ocean depths. Despite its importance, methodological constraints have led to an inadequate understanding of this process, especially in low-activity ...

People with mobility limitations require Beach assistive technology (AT) to facilitate beach leisure, social participation and to establish their identity as beachgoers.People with mobility limitations who plan to use Beach AT should be prepared to overcome pragmatic challenges related to size, storage, and propulsion, and should have realistic exp...

The ocean remains one of the least explored places on our planet, containing myriad life that are either unknown to science or poorly understood. Given the technological challenges and limited resources available for exploring this vast space, more targeted approaches are required to scale spatiotemporal observations and monitoring of ocean life. T...
The Arctic climate is a major environmental concern as it is experiencing strong changes. Notably, recent Arctic warming drives rapid sea ice loss making the Arctic increasingly vulnerable. To better anticipate the consequences of this strong Arctic warming, it is crucial to better understand the driving processes responsible for large uncertaintie...

Combining remote-sensing data with in-situ observations to achieve a comprehensive 3D reconstruction of the ocean state presents significant challenges for traditional interpolation techniques. To address this, we developed the CLuster Optimal Interpolation Neural Network (CLOINet), which combines the robust mathematical framework of the Optimal In...

Here, we present the draft genome sequences of three Croceitalea sp. strains containing microbial rhodopsins, isolated from the Japanese coastal sea surface microlayer, which is exposed to intense sunlight. This study will contribute to the understanding of the genus Croceitalea and the diversity of microbial rhodopsins.
