BACKGROUND: Microbial secondary metabolites play a crucial role in the intricate interactions within the natural environment. Among these metabolites, ribosomally synthesized and post-translationally modified peptides (RiPPs) are becoming a promising...
Flood modelling and forecasting can enhance our understanding of flood mechanisms and facilitate effective management of flood risk. Conventional flood hazard and risk assessments usually consider one driver at a time, whether it is ocean, fluvial or...
Oceanic dissolved oxygen (DO) is crucial for oceanic material cycles and marine biological activities. However, obtaining subsurface DO values directly from satellite observations is limited due to the restricted observed depth. Therefore, it is esse...
The depletion of fossil energy reserves and the environmental pollution caused by these sources highlight the need to harness renewable energy sources from the oceans, such as waves and tides, due to their high potential. On the other hand, the large...
We recently developed an explosion-propeller hybrid driving underwater robot combined with an AI-based concrete damage detection technique for concrete overhaul in real marine environments. Here, we describe steps for establishing a detection dataset...
Autonomous ocean-exploring vehicles have begun to take advantage of onboard sensor measurements of water properties such as salinity and temperature to locate oceanic features in real time. Such targeted sampling strategies enable more rapid study of...
Cadmium (Cd) is a bio-essential trace metal in the ocean that can be toxic at high concentrations, significantly impacting the marine environment and phytoplankton growth. Its distribution pattern is closely proportional to that of phosphate (PO), al...
Phytoplankton blooms exhibit varying patterns in timing and number of peaks within ecosystems. These differences in blooming patterns are partly explained by phytoplankton:nutrient interactions and external factors such as temperature, salinity and l...
The biogeochemical processes of organic matter exhibit notable variability and unpredictability in marginal seas. In this study, the abiologically and biologically driving effects on particulate organic matter (POM) and dissolved organic matter (DOM)...
Marine pollution poses a significant threat to ecosystems, biodiversity, and human health, necessitating a structured evaluation framework. This study applies the Fuzzy Analytic Hierarchy Process (FAHP) to prioritize five major marine pollution sourc...
