Scientists make stunning discoveries on expedition to incredibly deep ocean canyon: ‘Once-in-a-lifetime experience’ https://www.byteseu.com/1365362/ #DanielLauretta #DeepOcean #DepthOfTheGrandCanyon #EagerAudience #OceanInstitute #SchmidtOceanInstitute #Science #TheExpedition #TreasureTrove #UnderwaterCanyon

Estació 69 – Canyó de Mar del Plata
Durant una immersió en directe de més de 5 hores a més de 1.200 m de profunditat i a 300 km de la costa, l’equip del Schmidt Ocean Institute va descobrir vida marina sorprenent... i una bossa de plàstic amb inscripcions en xinès.
Una transmissió científica convertida en classe oberta.

New Coral Gardens and Hydrothermal Vents Found in the Icy Depths of the Remote South Sandwich Islands https://schmidtocean.org/new-coral-gardens-hydrothermal-vents-found-south-sandwich-islands/

"recent #DeepSea expedition observed thriving polar ecosystems, discovered new #HydrothermalVents, coral gardens, and many suspected #NewSpecies... #SchmidtOceanInstitute’s RV #FalkorToo explored the #SouthSandwichIslands, including one of the coldest and most isolated submarine trenches on the planet, and also found evidence of explosive volcanism."

Thriving Antarctic Ecosystems Found in Wake of Recently Detached Iceberg https://schmidtocean.org/thriving-antarctic-ecosystems-found-in-wake-of-recently-detached-iceberg/

"team on board #SchmidtOceanInstitute’s R/V Falkor (too) rapidly pivoted their research plans to study an area that was, until last month, covered by ice... they observed the #DeepSea for 8 days and found flourishing ecosystems at depths as great as 1300m. Their observations include large #corals and #sponges supporting an array of animal life, including #icefish, giant #SeaSpiders, and #octopus"

Scientists document rich #biodiversity along underexplored Chilean coastline https://phys.org/news/2024-12-scientists-document-rich-biodiversity-underexplored.html #DeepSea

"scientists on board a recent #SchmidtOceanInstitute #RVFalkorToo expedition surveyed nearly 20 #MethaneSeeps, some of which are new discoveries, and four submarine canyon systems previously never before seen by humans... They found an abundance of #animals, including possibly 60 #NewSpecies or more, living in surprisingly diverse ecosystems off the Chilean coast"

"#scientists may have discovered more than 100 #NewSpecies living on #seamounts off the coast of #Chile. The recent #SchmidtOceanInstitute expedition resulted in identifying #DeepSea #corals, glass #sponges, #SeaUrchins, #amphipods, squat #lobsters, and other species likely #NewToScience."

Four New #Seamounts Discovered in the High Seas

"The crew of #SchmidtOceanInstitute’s research vessel #Falkor (too) discovered four underwater mountains — the tallest of which is over 1.5 miles high — on a January transit from #CostaRica to #Chile... The seamounts were found as the technicians plotted a course to examine gravity anomalies during the transit... Underwater mountains and trenches often host #DeepSea #CoralReefs, #sponges, & #anemones"

#Hydrothermal Activity Discovered Along The Puy de Folles Vent Field https://astrobiology.com/2023/04/hydrothermal-activity-discovered-along-the-puy-de-folles-vent-field.html

#NOAA, #SchmidtOceanInstitute, and partners recently embarked on the In Search of Hydrothermal Lost Cities expedition on the Schmidt’s #ResearchVessel Falkor (too) to locate and observe #HydrothermalVents activity along the #MidAtlanticRidge.
