“It was probably the most extensive chimney field I’ve ever seen in the 20 years that I’ve been working with them. There are still a lot of ‘secrets’ we need to resolve out here, so it is going to be interesting!” This week we join Susan Merle, Bill Chadwick, and rest of the #UnderwaterFire team to look … Continued
Aboard R/V Falkor, Dr. Ken Rubin and his research team will visit one of the most active underwater volcano sites in the world, the Meta Volcano group. There they will work to obtain a detailed geological understanding of up to 12 different submarine volcanoes, attempting to do this across a suite of volcanos for the very first time.

She is passionate about understanding marine and coastal environments and is particularly interested in projects with strong links to the community. Throughout her degree, she has also developed a taste for the awe and challenges involved when researching in remote … Continued
The West Mata Volcanic Group is unique. The tectonics of the place are like no other, and so is the opportunity that theses volcanoes offer to scientific research. Each of the volcanoes may be similar in composition, but each is at a different stage of evolution, which presents the scientists onboard R/V Falkor an invaluable chance to … Continued
It takes about an hour and a half for the Remotely Operated Vehicle (ROV) SuBastian to reach the 1900 meter mark near the bottom of the ocean. “Bottom in sight!” declares Chief Scientist Dr Ken Rubin, in charge of making video observations, controlling one of the submersible’s cameras, narrating the dive for the avid live-stream … Continued
