Resource abundance of cobalt-rich ferromanganese crusts in the KC-8 seamount, West Pacific

We have estimated the resource potential of cobalt-rich ferromanganese crusts (CFCs) on the summit area of the KC-8 seamount in the West Pacific, based on the acoustic backscatter intensity (ABI), ROV video footage, and CFC thickness measurements. To estimate the spatial distribution of CFC across 1...
