It is an thrill to be back working in Pescadero Basin! I was part of the MBARI team in 2015 that discovered the hydrothermal vent field in the southern-most and deepest of a series of basins in the Gulf of California. This vent field was named Auka for the word used as a greeting by … Continued
¡Es emocionante volver a trabajar en la Cuenca de Pescadero! Formé parte del equipo de MBARI en el 2015 que descubrió el campo de chimeneas hidrotermales en una de las cuencas más profundas del sur del Golfo de California. Este campo de ventilación se llamó Auka por la palabra que usaron como saludo las muchas … Continued

Written in big … Continued
Following up on a 2015 cruise by Monterey Bay Aquarium Research Institute, this cruise, led by Dr. Robert Zierenberg, Dr. David Caress, and Dr. Victoria Orphan, will tackle a full investigation of the tectonic, geochemistry, and associated microbial communities and life forms around recently discovered hydrothermal vents. These vents were discovered atop a fault scarp … Continued
