Journal ArticleDOI
Deep-ocean mineral deposits as a source of critical metals for high- and green-technology applications: Comparison with land-based resources
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors compare the grades and tonnages of nodules and crusts in those two areas with the global terrestrial reserves and resources, and compare the two largest existing land-based REE mines, Bayan Obo in China and Mountain Pass in the USA.
Journal ArticleDOI
Critical metals in manganese nodules from the Cook Islands EEZ, abundances and distributions
TL;DR: The Cook Islands (CIsland Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ) encompasses 1,977,000 km2 and includes the Penrhyn and Samoa basins abyssal plains where manganese nodules flourish due to the availability of prolific nucleus material, slow sedimentation rates, and strong bottom currents.
Journal ArticleDOI
Controls on ferromanganese crust composition and reconnaissance resource potential, Ninetyeast Ridge, Indian Ocean
TL;DR: A reconnaissance survey of Fe-Mn crusts from the 5000 km long (~31°S to 10°N) Ninetyeast Ridge (NER) in the Indian Ocean showed their widespread occurrence along the ridge as well as with water depth on the ridge flanks.
Journal ArticleDOI
Marine Phosphorites as Potential Resources for Heavy Rare Earth Elements and Yttrium
TL;DR: In this article, a systematic study of rare earth elements and yttrium (REY) distributions in marine phosphorite deposits that formed over a range of oceanic environments is presented.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: In this article, a multi-faceted provenance study was performed to definitively establish the primary sources, sinks, and transport pathways of beach-sized sand in the region, thereby identifying the activities and processes that directly limit supply to the outer coast.
