Why are biological samples important for better comprehension of the ocean? How does collecting them build value and understanding towards these remote underwater areas? How does the ocean life itself inspire engineers to develop new methods and tools for sampling? Learn more in the Week Three #DeepCoralsOfPIPA update video.

Ninety three million miles away from earth resides our beautiful star. It showers our planet with electromagnetic radiation of different energies. The peak of this energy that makes it through space and our atmosphere is around 400-700 billions of a meter. This little sliver forms our visual spectrum – the rainbow of colors we perceive. This … Continued
30 day Preliminary Post Cruise Report: Unraveling Ancient Sea Level Secrets
Water comprises 60% of our body and 71% of the surface area of the earth; it is simultaneously the most familiar compound and also often forgotten. Even as we are exploring the deep ocean, we find our attention drawn to the elegantly spiraled corals, treacherous looking sharks, and adorable dumbo octopuses rather than the trillions … Continued
Dr. Hu Wang specializes in marine chemistry at the School of Ocean and Earth Science, Tongji University, China. He has conducted research on geochemical characteristics of hydrothermal plumes. Recently, he is interested in organic iron ligands in hydrothermal plumes, and its effect on the global oceanic dissolved iron inventory. He received his M.S. in marine … Continued

Deepwater corals are many things, including fascinating, diverse, slow-growing, threatened, and susceptible to deep-sea fisheries or mining activities. Yet they have another very important quality: the ability to harbor – and play home to – a broad array of associated animals. Of the more than 3,000 species of cold water corals, some estimate that as many … Continued
Originally from northern Germany, Christian is now staff researcher at the Marine Geoscience department at GNS Science in New Zealand. After finishing school in provincial northern Germany, he joined the University of Kiel to study marine geology. A few years later he received his Diploma from the University of Kiel, followed by a PhD in … Continued
“Since we know so little about the deep ocean, we need to find out ‘What’ is ‘Where’ to begin with. And that is what we are doing now – raw exploration on the seamounts to find out where life exists, who is here, what depth are they at, and more.” Look into some of the … Continued
