Ceramic Spheres—A Novel Solution to Deep Sea Buoyancy Modules
Ceramic-based hollow spheres are considered a great driving force for many applications such as offshore buoyancy modules due to their large diameter to wall thickness ratio and uniform wall thickness geometric features. We have developed such thin-walled hollow spheres made of alumina using slip casting and sintering processes. A diameter as large as 50 mm with a wall thickness of 0.5-1.0 mm h...
متن کاملVertical Migrations of a Deep-Sea Fish and Its Prey
It has been speculated that some deep-sea fishes can display large vertical migrations and likely doing so to explore the full suite of benthopelagic food resources, especially the pelagic organisms of the deep scattering layer (DSL). This would help explain the success of fishes residing at seamounts and the increased biodiversity found in these features of the open ocean. We combined active p...
متن کاملResponse Characteristics of a Buoyancy-Driven Sea
The authors consider the flow in a semienclosed sea, or basin, subjected to a destabilizing surface buoyancy flux and separated from a large adjoining reservoir by a sill. A series of numerical experiments were conducted to quantify the energetics of the flow within the basin, that is, the amount of kinetic and potential energy stored within the basin and the rate at which these quantities are ...
متن کاملDeep-sea Mining: An Emerging Marine Industry
Deep-sea mining is an emerging marine industry that presents particularly complex challenges due to its multi-faceted technological, scientific, environmental, social, industrial, political, economic and legal aspects, all of which must be addressed to achieve commercially viable results. These aspects are governed by the burgeoning regulatory regime promulgated by the International Seabed Auth...
متن کاملMesoscale eddies transport deep-sea sediments
Mesoscale eddies, which contribute to long-distance water mass transport and biogeochemical budget in the upper ocean, have recently been taken into assessment of the deep-sea hydrodynamic variability. However, how such eddies influence sediment movement in the deepwater environment has not been explored. Here for the first time we observed deep-sea sediment transport processes driven by mesosc...
