Observations of deep-sea fishes and mobile scavengers from the abyssal DISCOL experimental mining area by J. C. Drazen, A. B. Leitner, S. Morningstar, Y. Marcon, Y. Marcon, J. Greinert, A. Purser

“…The large contribution of hermit crabs appears to be unique amongst abyssal scavenger studies worldwide. The abyssal fish community at DISCOL was similar to that in the more northerly Clarion–Clipperton Zone (CCZ), though some species have only been observed at DISCOL thus far. …”

A Proposal for Global-Change Education based on an educational board game: A Planet on the Abyss by Pérez-Fernández Beatriz, Vázquez-Vílchez Mercedes, Fernández-Oliveras Alicia

“…To this end, we have designed and manufactured a prototype board game called “A Planet on the Abyss”, with a cooperative play. The pilot study realized have showed that the students recognize that Global Change incorporates more components than climate change and the students related Global Change with an anthropocentric origin and they became to use new terms, such as habitats, ecosystems, deforestation, etc.…”

SCIENTIFIC TERMS IN SOCIOLOGICAL TEXT (ON MATERIAL OF J. LONDON’S WORK “THE PEOPLE OF THE ABYSS” IN ENGLISH AND RUSSIAN) by Sergeeva, O.V., Semenova, S.N.

“…The aim of the research is the lexical and semantic relations identification of similarities and differences in both versions of Jack London’s work “The People of the Abyss” in English and Russian. The scientific novelty of the article is the classification and commentaries on words, phrases, metaphors and phraseological units in both texts. …”

Melting and Evolution of Amphibole‐Rich Back‐Arc Abyssal Peridotites at the Mado Megamullion, Shikoku Basin by A. Sen, J. E. Snow, Y. Ohara, K. Hirauchi, Y. Kouketsu, A. Sanfilippo, V. Basch, Y. Harigane, M. Fujii, K. Okino, N. Akizawa

“…The presence of apparently magmatic high‐temperature pargasitic amphibole in veins and as replacement of clinopyroxene suggests that it may be a primary or near‐primary mineral crystallized from a hydrous melt which is unusual for abyssal peridotites. Two trace‐element populations of clinopyroxenes are in equilibrium with depleted and enriched basaltic melts, respectively. …”

UNDERWATER CANYONS OF THE SOUTHWESTERN OUTSKIRTS OF SOUTHERN BAIKAL AS PRESUMABLE TRANSITERS OF TECHNOGENIC MATERIALS TO THE ABYSSAL SURFACE by E. E. Kononov, N. A. Gubin

“…Numerous publications by domestic and foreign authors deal with a significant role of underwater canyons in transit of loose material from the littoral to the abyssal surfaces of the seas. Lake Baikal fully corresponds in its hydrodynamic and bathymetric parameters to sea water basins, and the Baikal canyons are similar in their morphological and morphometric factors to sea canyons. …”

THE OXIDATION-STATE OF THE EARTHS SUB-OCEANIC MANTLE FROM OXYGEN THERMOBAROMETRY OF ABYSSAL SPINEL PERIDOTITES by Bryndzia, L, Wood, B, Dick, H

“…Here we use oxygen thermobarometry of abyssal spinel peridotites, representative of most of the Earth's mid-ocean-ridge systems, to show that the redox state of the sub-oceanic mantle lies at values of up to 4 log units (average of 1.35 log units) more reduced than FMQ. …”

Giant, highly diverse protists in the abyssal Pacific: vulnerability to impacts from seabed mining and potential for recovery by Andrew J. Gooday, Jennifer M. Durden, Craig R. Smith

“…Xenophyophores, giant deep-sea agglutinated foraminifera, dominate the benthic megafauna in the eastern equatorial Pacific Clarion-Clipperton Zone. This abyssal (>4000 m depth) region hosts major deposits of polymetallic nodules targeted for future seabed mining, an activity that would destroy these highly diverse and delicate protists, particularly those living on the nodules themselves. …”
