| Description |
The Global Marine Mineral Resources project researches deep ocean minerals within the U.S. Exclusive Economic Zone and throughout the Earth’s oceans. Our research concerns the setting, genesis, and metal enrichment processes of mineral deposits, the relationship between marine minerals related and deep-sea biota, and the potential geochemical footprint of any seafloor mining. We aim to provide stakeholders with the best available science regarding potential resources and environmental impacts associated with accessing those resources. |
