Family? Fairy tales? Find out how researchers on the #NingalooCanyon expedition got their start performing “Science at Sea” in this quick video.
The #NingalooCanyons expedition continues to bring forth breathtaking scenery, animal life, and discoveries. Fragile glass sponge gardens, ancient geological structures, tiny colonies, and a massive (glowing) squid all make this week’s highlight video well worth watching. So far, the most questions we have received have been about the squid at end of video. Here are … Continued
The second week of the #NingalooCanyons expedition has gifted us with some spectacular Remotely Operated Vehicle dives. Take a quick look back at some of the visual highlights of creatures and habitat via ROV SuBastian.
Each sample we take is done so with thoughtfulness, respect, and care. The technology – combining high-definition imagery, manipulator tools, and eDNA sensing – means that we can be very selective about what we need to get eat science done. “The deep sea is so unexplored, and so until we are able to describe these … Continued

Australia is an island continent, surrounded by three oceans and multiple seas; there are four major ocean currents flowing around the large mass of land. These bodies of water are home to amazing organisms. Yet with so much water, ocean life, and discovery potential, Australia has limited research opportunities. In 2020, R/V Falkor and Schmidt Ocean … Continued

So, we are at the halfway point of the trip already! As mentioned in my previous blog, we are off the coast of Exmouth (Western Australia) on a voyage aiming to document the biodiversity of the Ningaloo Canyons (Cape Range and Cloates). These submarine canyons are unexplored ecosystems, therefore this expedition has the potential to … Continued
Stunning ‘gardens’ of deep-sea corals have been discovered in the Bremer Canyon Marine Park by Australian and international scientists during an oceanographic expedition aboard Schmidt Ocean Institute’s R/V Falkor. FREMANTLE, AUSTRALIA – Bremer Canyon Marine Park is already known as a biodiversity hotspot for marine species such as whales and dolphins, however, a recent expedition … Continued
