Reefs of the Deep: The Biology and Geology of Cold-Water Coral Ecosystems
TL;DR: Advances reviewed here include the use of corals as paleoclimatic archives and their biogeological functioning, biodiversity, and biogeography, and the impacts of deep-water trawling and effects of ocean acidification.

Monitoring environmental variability around cold-water coral reefs: the use of a benthic photolander and the potential of seafloor observatories
J. Murray Roberts,Oliver C Peppe,Lyndsey Dodds,Duncan J L Mercer,William T. Thomson,John D. Gage,David Meldrum +6 more
TL;DR: The use of a benthic photolander to monitor the variability of the cold-water coral reef environment is described in this article, which provides a platform for time-lapse digital and film cameras to image the seabed while recording the current regime and optical characteristics (light transmission, backscatter and fluorescence).
Book ChapterDOI
Cold-water coral reefs.
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors reveal the true scale and distribution of cold-water coral reefs and their linkages between reef provinces as a critical step toward developing meaningful systems of protected areas for their conservation.

Sweetman,Ursula Witte +24 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors review the types of activities that are associated with global offshore oil and gas development in water depths over 200 m, the typical impacts of these activities, some of the more extreme impacts of accidental spills, and the current state of management in the major regions of offshore industrial activity including 18 exclusive economic zones.

North Atlantic–Nordic Seas exchanges
Bogi Hansen,Svein Østerhus +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors reviewed the state of knowledge on the exchanges especially across the eastern part of the Greenland-Scotland Ridge, based on results from the ICES NANSEN (North Atlantic-Norwegian Sea Exchanges) project, from the Nordic WOCE project and from other sources.

The Biology of Lophelia pertusa (Linnaeus 1758) and Other Deep-Water Reef-Forming Corals and Impacts from Human Activities.
TL;DR: The present review examines the current knowledge on L. pertusa and discusses similarities between its biology and that of other deep-water, reef-forming, corals, and concludes that it is a Reef-forming coral that has a highly diverse associated fauna.
Journal ArticleDOI
Bed configuration in steady unidirectional water flows; Part 2, Synthesis of flume data
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors use a three-axis graph with dimensionless measures of mean flow depth, mean flow velocity, and sediment size along the axes to develop the best approximation to the relationships among bed phases produced by flows of water over loose sediments.
MonographDOI
Cool-Water Carbonates
TL;DR: A collection of papers on the sedimentary geology of carbonate sediments deposited on shelves and offshore banks in cool to cold oceans can be found in this article, where the present status of our understanding and current research in a field that is in mid-life is discussed.

Deep water bioherms of the scleractinian coral Lophelia pertusa (L.) at 64° n on the Norwegian shelf: Structure and associated megafauna
TL;DR: In this article, a video-recording of the scleractinian coral Lophelia pertusa at 240-290 m depth in the Haltenbanken-Fmyabanken area was investigated by using the orientation of the gorgonianParamuricea placomus as an indicator of the direction of main currents at the bioherms.
