Metals profile in deep-sea sediment from an active tectonic region around Simeulue Island, Aceh, Indonesia.

Simeulue waters are adjacent to the northern part of Sumatra Island, which is undergoing massive land-use transformations; moreover, the waters are located in an active tectonic region. Land changes and tectonic activity might affect the metal pollution profile in this deep sea area. Thus, this study aimed to investigate the vertical profile and assess the sediment quality from the deep-sea marine sediment around Simeulue Island based on metal concentration.

Surface Boron Modulation on Cobalt Oxide Nanocrystals for Electrochemical Oxygen Evolution Reaction.

Herein, we show that coupling boron with cobalt oxide tunes its structure and significantly boost its electrocatalytic performance for the oxygen evolution reaction (OER). Through a simple precipitation and thermal treatment process, a series of Co-B oxides with tunable morphologies and textural parameters were prepared. Detailed structural analysis supported first the formation of an disordered and partially amorphous material with nanosized Co BO and/or Co B O being present on the local atomic scale.

Assessment of potential variability of cadmium and copper trace metals using hindcast estimates.

Trace metals are vital to primary productivity and play an essential role as main components in regulating oceanic biogeochemical cycles. Dissolved and particulate trace metals within the water column may vary due to primary production, temperature, and nutrient changes, factors that may also vary spatially and temporally. Furthermore, assessment of trace metals mainly relies on in situ observation, and so wide-area investigation of trace-metal concentration may be challenging and subject to technical constraints.
