Sediment plumes and financial modeling in the context of deep-sea polymetallic nodule mining
Deep-sea polymetallic nodule mining commercial operations are close to becoming a reality. In recent years, research activity in the field has substantially increased, but there are yet many technical, environmental and financial challenges to be addressed. This work tackles three critical topics es...
