Deep-sea mining risks leads study to urge shift to circular solutions

Deep-sea mining risks leads study to urge shift to circular solutions

The study advocates for a shift toward circular economy strategies, such as enhanced recycling and urban mining, which offer sustainable alternatives to deep-sea mining.

The cryptic lives of marine mammals: a century of marine mammal metabolisms

The cryptic lives of marine mammals: a century of marine mammal metabolisms

The metabolic rates of marine mammals who live their entire lives at sea or remain submerged for long periods of time are almost impossible to measure, creating large gaps in the data that scientists hope to fill with future technological innovations.
