A new publication in the prestigious journal Global Change Biology

CIMA researcher Nélia Mestre is co-author of a study that proposes a framework that could be applied to compare the environmental impacts of deep-seabed with those from land-based mining. This framework (Environmental Impact Wheel) includes a suite of physicochemical and biological components, rather than a few selected metrics, surrogates, or proxies.

This study resulted from collaborative work with researchers from all over the world: Canada, Australia, the USA, Germany, Trinidad and Tobago, the UK, Norway, Brazil, India, Belgium, and Ireland.

 It is available for open access through the link: Metaxas et al. 2024. Comparing environmental impacts of deep-seabed and land-based mining: A defensible framework. Global Change Biology
