Advection-diffusion-settling of deep-sea mining sediment plumes. Part 1: Midwater plumes

The evolution of midwater sediment plumes associated with deep-sea mining activities is investigated in the passive-transport phase using a simplified advection–diffusion-settling model. Key metrics that characterize the extent of plumes are defined based on a concentration threshold. Namely, we con...
