Environmental impacts and risks of deep-sea mining

ACRONYM
JPIO MiningImpact II
Title
Environmental impacts and risks of deep-sea mining
General information
In the second project phase of MiningImpact, we will extend our previous work towards three major research interests concerning deep-sea mining: (1) the larger scale environmental impact caused by the suspended sediment plume, (2) the regional connectivity of species and the biodiversity of biological assemblages and their resilience to impacts, and (3) the integrated effects on ecosystem functions, such as the benthic foodweb and biogeochemical processes.
