#ResearchVessel provides comprehensive assessment of the changing Central #Arctic Ocean https://phys.org/news/2024-10-vessel-comprehensive-central-arctic-ocean.html

"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."

The #TongaEruption Left #DeepSea Life Buried in Ash https://eos.org/articles/the-tonga-eruption-left-deep-sea-life-buried-in-ash Paper: https://www.nature.com/articles/s43247-024-01411-w

"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"

Expedition searching for #NewSpecies in #Arctic Ocean https://geographical.co.uk/news/expedition-searching-for-new-species-in-arctic-ocean

"On board the expeditions boat, the #RVKronprinsHaakon #ResearchVessel, is a multi-disciplinary team of 36 #scientists from 15 universities and institutes whose goal is to explore and chart a series of #hydrothermal vent fields, #CarbonSeeps, #seamounts and #DeepSea ridges... With only 1,100 species currently described from the #ArcticOcean, the team is hopeful of new discoveries"

British research ship crosses paths with world’s largest iceberg https://www.rcinet.ca/eye-on-the-arctic/2023/12/04/british-research-ship-crosses-paths-with-worlds-largest-iceberg/

“It is incredibly lucky that the #iceberg’s route out of the #WeddellSea sat directly across our planned path, and that we had the right team aboard to take advantage of this opportunity... The team took samples of ocean surface waters around the iceberg’s route to help determine what life could form around it and how the iceberg and others like it impact #carbon in the ocean”

Massive New #Seamount Discovered in International Waters Off #Guatemala
https://schmidtocean.org/massive-new-seamount-off-guatemala/

"The 1,600-meter seamount covers 14 square kilometers and sits 2,400 meters below sea level... This marks the ninth #seafloor #discovery since the #ResearchVessel #Falkor (too), was launched in March... #Seamounts are #biodiversity hotspots, providing surfaces for #DeepSea #corals, #sponges, and a host of #invertebrates... There are more than 100,000 #unexplored seamounts taller than 1,000 meters."

Scientists Discover Healthy #DeepSea #Coral Reef and New #Seamounts in the Galápagos https://schmidtocean.org/healthy-deep-sea-coral-reef-and-new-seamounts-in-the-galapagos/

"#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 #DeepReefs within the #GalápagosIslandsMarineReserve"

New population numbers: 1.4 million #whales, #dolphins and #porpoises in the European Atlantic https://phys.org/news/2023-10-population-million-whales-dolphins-porpoises.html

"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."
