TL;DR: An extensive carbonate system off the Amazon mouth, underneath the river plume, is presented, providing several insights about the responses of tropical reefs to suboptimal and marginal reef-building conditions, which are accelerating worldwide due to global changes.

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that plastic pellets present a three-dimensional instead of a simple along-across shore distribution, with surface layers accounting for <10% of the total abundance in the sediment column, suggesting a general pattern whose applicability to microplastics and sedimentary environments as a whole should be investigated.

TL;DR: It is argued that the ACCR was formed by upward fluid flow along active sub-surface faults and fractures that formed by lateral extension generated by the ascending movement of salt diapirs at depth, an important modern and accessible analogue for a seabed carbonate build-up related to sub- surface hydrocarbon systems.

TL;DR: In this paper, a dropcam was deployed in 67 sites and recorded images of macrohabitats and associated biodiversity in the Royal Charlotte Bank (RCB), which is a large and diverse ecosystem complex mostly composed of rhodoliths.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors studied the genesis and evolution of the sedimentary wedge off Sao Sebastiao Island, located in the Bight of Sao Paulo, southeastern Brazil, and collected seismic and sediment data between 2013 and 2015.
