Article Abstract
Two independent analytical methods (kinetic and sequential extraction protocols) were used to understand the distribution, stability, and lability of Pb-sediment complexes in Indian continental shelf. The concentrations of sedimentary Pb varied from 12.0±0.6 to 30.4±0.1mg·kg and 15.9±0.3 to 36.7±0.4mg·kg in the western and eastern shelf of India respectively. The kinetic extraction study showed that higher proportion of labile Pb-complexes were present in the eastern shelf sediments (~24% of total Pb) than the western shelf sediments (~14% of total Pb). The sedimentary organic matter was found to regulate lability of sedimentary Pb complexes. The sequential extraction study suggested that Fe/Mn oxyhydroxide were the primary hosting phase for labile Pb complexes. This study showed that water soluble, exchangeable, carbonate/bicarbonate-Pb complexes in the sediments was labile. This study provides a better physicochemical description of stability or lability of Pb complexes in the coastal sediment of India.

Contrasting seasonal variability of net community production between the Southern Yellow Sea and the Northern East China Sea during spring and summer.

The Yellow Sea (YS) and the East China Sea (ECS), which comprise continental shelves with depths of 200 m or less, are recognized as some of the most productive coastal areas globally. Although this high productivity can contribute to carbon sequestration, the spatiotemporal variability of the biological pump remains unclear. To investigate this variability, net community production (NCP) in August 2020 was estimated based on high-resolution O/Ar measurements.

This work identifies spatial-temporal patterns of marine species biodiversity in the Norwegian, Greenland and Barents Seas and provides specific information in Norway for Environmental Impact Assessments and Statements about area-based indices for biodiversity. The opening of the Norwegian Extended Continental Shelf for deep-sea mining is a currently relevant topic for environmental management, as strategies to minimize mining impacts and delimit key zones for ecological preservation have been widely advised. A quality control procedure covering temporal and spatial scales on open-source biodiversity data was applied, including the compilation of marine species from the archives of the Norwegian North-Atlantic Expedition 1876-1878.

The northern Gulf of Mexico contains productive soft bottom environments with numerous oil rigs that contain epibionts and reef associated fishes. Soundscapes at these structures may provide insight on diel and seasonal animal activity near these habitats and influences of stressors such as vessel noise, hypoxia, and storms. Yet, bioacoustics of this area remains understudied.

As a major source of interference in bistatic sonar systems, bistatic ocean bottom reverberation has gained considerable attention in recent years. The beam-time response of bistatic reverberation reveals interference stripes that follow distinct patterns, potentially misleading target detection and necessitating a thorough analysis of their underlying mechanism. These interference stripes are generated by mode coupling between propagating modes along both the incident and scattering paths.
