In June 2015 we held a workshop on the beautiful island of Mallorca, Spain with a focus on sea level variability and change. Over 120 sea level experts from around the world attended this workshop, from a range of different disciplines. The main aims…

This paper examines the first 50 transitional years of a sea of isolation to a sea of internationalization. It provides analytical tools to reveal the mechanisms of how this was done. To do so it places in the centre of the analysis the sea. By using…

Invasive alien species (IAS) are one of the greatest causes of native species extinction.
Indeed, they represent a global threat for biodiversity and can also affect the economy and human
health. The colonization success of IAS is presumably not…

"Exploring the Earth under the Sea brings to life the world’s largest and longest-lived geological research program, which has been drilling over many decades at many locations deep below the ocean floor to recover continuous cores of sediment and…

Aquatic products represent an important food source; they include products such
as fish, shrimp, shellfish, crab, and seaweed, and provide high-quality proteins, fatty
acids, minerals, and other nutritional elements. Generally, raw aquatic…

Marine environmental conditions are highly distinct in the Yellow Sea, the East China
Sea, and the East/Japan Sea, with characteristics such as the shallow and turbid conditions
of the Yellow Sea, relatively warm subtropical conditions of the East…

The marine environment has proven to be a rich source of diverse natural products
with relevant activities such as anticancer, anti-inflammatory, antiepileptic, immunomodulatory,
antifungal, antiviral, and antiparasitic [1,2]. The global marine…

Sea surface salinity (SSS) is an essential climate variable [1]. It is a key component of the water cycle,
as a tracer of precipitation and evaporation, river outflow and ice melt/freeze. It is a key driver of oceanic
circulation through its role…

Life below water is the 14th Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) envisaged by the
United Nations and is aimed at conserving and sustainably using the oceans, seas and
marine resources for sustainable development [1]. It is not difficult to argue…

Passive acoustic monitoring (PAM) is widely used as an initial step towards an assessment
of environmental status. In the present study, underwater ambient sound recordings from two
monitoring locations in marine-protected areas (MPAs) of the Gulf…
