Ferromanganese nodule-bearing deep-sea sediments cover vast areas of the ocean floor, representing a distinctive habitat in the abyss. These sediments harbor unique conditions characterized by high iron concentration and low degradable nutrient levels, which pose challenges to the survival and growth of most microorganisms. While …

The manganese nodule studied here was collected from the NW Pacific Ocean (Figure 1a) at site WPN-16 (18°05.38′ N, 152°33.38′ E, ... Ltd. Pb isotopes are used to determine detrital component provenance in North Pacific Ocean sediments, manganese nodules, and crusts (Christensen et al., 1997; ...

Manganese nodules and associated sediment from the equatorial North Pacific have been examined to ascertain relations between nodule abundance, texture, and composition, and sediment composition, lithology and acoustic stratigraphy. Nodules are most abundant in areas where the uppermost acoustically transparent layer of sediment is less than ...

This study aims to assess the role of sediment thickness in nodule occurrence and to suggest potential strategies for future investigations. These tasks were facilitated by analysing high-resolution AUV multibeam echosounder and sub-bottom profiler data and AUV-based photography collected during the JC120 expedition in 2015 in the …
