In 2015, new hydrothermal vents were discovered in the Gulf of California during a research cruise led by the Monterey Bay Aquarium Research Institute (MBARI). New vents are always an exciting find, but this new Auka vent field boasts a particularly intriguing combination of carbonate chimneys, hydrothermal petroleum, diverse vent fauna, and a deep ocean setting … Continued

For three weeks, the crew and science complement of the R/V Falkor has sailed down the coast of California, from San Francisco to San Diego. We have worked together to take the ROV SuBastian into the depths, beyond the reach of sunlight and—for now anyway—human intervention. During our three-week journey, we have collected over 300 … Continued
When NASA conducts planetary expeditions, they operate the vehicles through remote control – a person on Earth sends commands to the vehicle in space.
In three short minutes, there are a wide variety of subjects and knowledge in this video – similarities in space exploration and deep sea expeditions; discussion of technological innovations; discovery of unexplored ecosystems, and more!
