Summary Annotation Following the exciting exploration of hot vent and cold seep ecosystems, the rediscovery of cold- and deep-water coral ecosystems in our oceans with high-technology instrumentation is currently another hot topic in multidisciplinary marine research. Conventionally, coral reefs are regarded as being restricted to warm and well-illuminated tropical seas, but not with cold and dark waters of the higher latitudes. However, ongoing scientific missions currently shed light on the global significance of this overlooked ecosystem. Cold-water coral ecosystems are involved in the formation of large seabed structures such as reefs and giant carbonate mounds, and they represent unexploited paleo-environmental archives of Earth history. Like their tropical cousins, cold-water coral ecosystems harbour rich species diversity. Despite the great water depths, commercial interests more and more overlap with the coral occurrences. Damage created by human activities is already taking place worldwide and caused severe damage to the vulnerable ecosystem. The current key institutions involved in cold-water coral research have contributed 65 state-of-the-art articles covering the disciplines of geology and biology
