20 September - 29 October #SamplingGap The Mid-Atlantic Ridge stretches across both hemispheres and is a seafloor mountain system formed by plate tectonics. At the equator, between Brazil in South America and West Africa, an active transform fault — the Romanche Fracture Zone — bisects this ridge. The fault creates a setting with rough bathymetry … Continued
I am a geologist by training, and did my Master’s and PhD in Marine Geology and Geophysics. Since 2004, I have been a Professor at Universidade Federal do Espírito Santo, teaching Ocean Mapping, Submarine Geomorphology, Marine Stratigraphy, Carbonate Sedimentology, and Seabed Habitat Mapping. I have acted as supervisor of 12 post-docs, 11 PhD students, and … Continued
I am a postgraduate researcher in Physical Oceanography at the University of East Anglia, UK. My research interests lie in the physical oceanography of the Southern Ocean, with a particular focus on ice shelf meltwater, ocean circulation, tides, and mixing. I am interested in using ship-based observations and autonomous platforms to improve our understanding of … Continued
Dr Telmo Morato is a Portuguese principal marine scientist at the Okeanos Research Institute of the University of the Azores. He co-leads the Azores Deep-sea Ecology research group, aiming to advance the understanding of deep-sea ecosystems in a changing planet to inform society and the sustainable management of the oceans. Over the last few years, … Continued
