The Gulf of California is a young ocean undergoing changes including active seafloor spreading, early rifting, and large-scale hydrothermal activity. The rare combination of geological dynamics present in the Gulf of California makes it an ideal place to advance our understanding of deep ocean hydrothermal ecosystems.
Jessica Mitchell is in her fifth year of graduate school at Harvard University in Prof. Peter R. Girguis’s lab. She loves thinking about all of the amazing things microbes can do. For example, symbiotic associations with microbes can expand the metabolic repertoire of other organisms, influence local geochemistry and the ecosystems in which they live. … Continued

Las inmersiones de ROV en esta expedición han sido fascinantes. Algunas de las criaturas que los expertos han estado observando parecen de otro mundo, incluso atemorizantes. No es improbable que el brillante H.R. Giger se inspirara en el el crustáceo planctónico Phronima para crear su mítico monstruo extraterrestre en Alien, de 1979. Quizás es una … Continued
The Remotely Operated Vehicle dives during this expedition have been fascinating. Some of the creatures the experts have been observing seem otherworldly, even eerie. It is not unlikely that the brilliant H.R. Giger got his inspiration for the extraterrestrial monster in 1979’s Alien from the planktonic crustacean Phronima. Perhaps it is lucky that the Swiss artist did … Continued
