“The shape of the seafloor affects how water moves over it, and that impacts what animals are going to live there. The environment, the topography, how much food is falling down, all makes a difference to what can live there and what does live there.” Head down to the depths with ROV SuBastian to explore … Continued
This expedition will feature exploration of the Emperor Seamount Chain while researching biodiversity and its drivers. Using currents, mapping, and radio isotopes to track water masses – as well as genetic sampling of corals – the team will determine the driving force behind coral distribution in this region.
Marine microbes (bacteria, archaea, and viruses) are tiny. They are less than one-hundredth the width of a human hair—too small to see with the unaided human eye. But do not let their unassuming size fool you, these minuscule (and abundant!) organisms have dictated the fate of the planet for the last 3.5 billion years. I … Continued
