"Luminescent #sardines from the genus Benthosema were omnipresent in the Central #ArcticOcean... These #fish, less than 10 centimeters long, and the #prawns and #squids we found, indicate that the ecosystem surrounding the #NorthPole is more biodiverse than previously assumed."

"a team of scientists was on a #ResearchVessel near Tonga to study the #animals that live around #HydrothermalVents. But when they lowered a remotely operated vehicle down to a vent to search for the critters, they found the seafloor, normally a hard basalt surface, blanketed in sediment... they now had a rare opportunity to document the effects of a volcanic eruption on marine ecosystems"

"#Scientists examining underwater cliff ecosystems onboard #ResearchVessel #Falkor (too) using #ROV #SuBastian, have discovered 2 pristine #CoralReefs in the waters surrounding the #Galápagos. These newly identified #ColdWaterReefs are situated at depths ranging from 370 to 420 meters. The discovery expands our understanding of deep reefs within the #GalápagosIslandsMarineReserve"

"Mobilizing eight small #aircraft and one #ResearchVessel from southern #Norway to #Portugal, SCANS-IV surveyed the European #Atlantic in summer 2022 with the largest amount of search effort to date... It was coordinated by Dr. Anita Gilles from the University of #Veterinary Medicine #Hannover in #Germany."

"While we were able to collect the '#GoldenOrb' and bring it onto the ship, we still are not able to identify it beyond the fact that it is #biological in origin... It remains unclear if the golden dome is associated with a known species, a #NewSpecies, or represents an unknown life stage of an existing one"

"On Thursday, 3 August, the #ResearchVessel #Polarstern is scheduled to set off from #Tromsø towards the #NorthPole. For 2 months, a good fifty scientific expedition participants will explore the #Arctic in transition as sea ice extent reaches its annual minimum. They will explore the biology, chemistry & physics of #SeaIce as well as the effects of sea ice retreat on the entire #ocean system from the surface to the #DeepSea."
I'm starting an expedition thread on our MUDBENCS project, an oceanographic expedition to collect marine and fluvial mud, suspended sediment, and water from the Amazon River and coastal areas of Brazil, French Guiana, Suriname, and Guyana. I will add to this thread from time to time, so please #boost it freely if you think others would be interested in participating virtually in an oceanographic expedition.
Tonight, the ship R/V F. G. Walton Smith pushed off the dock in Miami heading to St. Thomas, to Trinidad, and the to Cayenne. The scientific party was not on board. Most will join it in about 13 days in Cayenne. I will lead a small party of us to transport frozen Amazon samples over land from Macapá, Brazil, through the savannas and rain forest of the Amazon basin to Cayenne, French Guiana. We will board the ship to begin our work on June 3.
