Popis: Since their initial discovery by the English Challenger expedition (1872–1876), deep seabed manganese nodules have attracted sporadic but intense scientific and economic attention, sometimes related to their interesting geological properties, such as their apparent persistence on sediments much younger than their estimated geological age, and sometimes related to their potential economic value as sources of important industrial metals, including manganese, nickel, copper, cobalt and others. The latter aspect of these deposits is the focus in this paper.
