This cruise offered a little bit of everything: good weather, bad weather, smoothly functioning equipment, everything going nicely – and then unforeseen failures, technical “work-arounds” to get us diving again, and lots of beautiful images from the bottom of the sea. Mother Nature also confounded us a little, but gradually gave up some of her … Continued
Dr. Brendan Roark is an Associate Professor in the Department of Geography at Texas A&M University. Brendan is a paleoceanographer whose research emphasis is in stable isotope biogeochemistry, trace metal analyses, and geochronology using radiocarbon and U/Th dating methods to study ocean and climate variability over the last 50,000 years. He has been doing research … Continued
As Remotely Operated Vehicle SuBastian begins its ascent back to R/V Falkor’s aft deck, scientists leave the Control Room and stretch their legs for the first time in several hours. This expedition to the Emperor Seamounts has proven an emotional test for the researchers, who had to deal with anticipation building up during the long transit … Continued
“There is all kind of biodiversity down there that we don’t know about.” In the #DeepSeaDiveristy wrap up video, scientists and researchers share what they have learned in their visit to these previously unexplored areas. “We are visiting communities that are more than 2 km (1.2 miles) deep, and I think a lot of people … Continued
