The deepest paradox : seafloor mining and its future
… rates. Regions of the seafloor including the Clarion-Clipperton Fracture Zone, the Prime Crust Zone, and inactive or waning hydrothermal vent systems have attracted attention for their unique concentration of metals used in electronics and strong magnets. With commercial mining activities set …

Rare metal resources in polymetallic nodules from the Eastern Equatorial Pacific Ocean
The Clarion-Clipperton fracture zone (CCFZ) in the eastern equatorial Pacific is the area with the greatest interest in terms of metal resources in polymetallic nodules. The nodules are enriched (relative to crustal composition) in economically important metals such as Mn, Ni, Cu, Zn, and so-called …

An in situ Investigation of Sediment Hydrodynamics for Advancing Seabed Mining Plume Monitoring and Modeling
… mining trials at a depth of 4500 meters in the Clarion Clipperton Fracture Zone in the Pacific. Throughout these trials, unprecedented sediment data was collected, offering a unique insight into suspended sediment generated from deep-sea nodule collector vehicle operations. The suspended …

On subannual variability in the abyssal ocean
… First, hydrographic measurements from the Clarion-Clipperton Zone of the tropical eastern North Pacific are used to characterize the structure and variability of the bottom mixed layer (BML) in a region targeted for deep-sea mining. The observations reveal a spatially and temporally …

On Subannual Variability in the Abyssal Ocean
… First, hydrographic measurements from the Clarion-Clipperton Zone of the tropical Northeastern Pacific are used to characterize the structure and variability of the bottom mixed layer (BML) in a region targeted for deep-sea mining. The observations reveal a spatially and temporally variable …

Sediment plumes and financial modeling in the context of deep-sea polymetallic nodule mining
… for the first time at 4500 m of depth in the Clarion Clipperton Fracture Zone in the Pacific ocean to monitor the collector sediment plume. Field observations confirm that the sediment discharge initially behaves as a turbidity current, shifting the currently established modeling paradigm for …
