The Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC) serves as the Atlantic Ocean's conveyor belt, transporting warm water north toward the Arctic Circle and returning cold, dense water back to the tropics. Nearshore areas off Greenland are critical sites in AMOC, influencing the redistribution of heat and nutrients around the world.

In shallow coastal waters around the world, mud and other fine-grained sediments such as clay and silt form critical blue carbon sinks. Offshore infrastructure such as wind turbines and oil platforms, as well as fishing practices such as bottom trawling, can have major effects on the seafloor. So knowing the locations of these mud-rich sedimentary deposits is key to making coastal management decisions.

The 2023 Kahramanmaraş earthquake struck southern Turkey and Syria along the East Anatolian Fault. The magnitude 7.8 quake and its magnitude 7.5 aftershock devastated the region, killing tens of thousands of people and destroying hundreds of thousands of buildings. Before the earthquake, seismologists warned that the area was ripe for a major seismic event.
