Episode 3: Polymetallic Nodules

Abstract In this episode you will learn all about polymetallic nodules. What exactly are polymetallic nodules? Why are they so often called manganese nodules? This video gives insights into the conditions for nodule formation and the formation processes (hydrogenous and diagenetic) and covers global locations of zones with very high abundances that are of economic interest.
