My first #deepsea campaign was a lot of fun! Curious to see what #eDNA samples will tell about #biodiversity in the Aveiro submarine canyon. The #ROVLuso images of the deep will have to wait for☀️days @CESAM_Univ Universidade Aveiro EMEPC CIIMAR-UP UniversidadeÉvora UN Ocean Decade

Starting the 2nd annual meeting of DEEP REST, one of the Challenger 150 projects! UN Ocean Decade


Join us for the monthly Deep Sea COBRA with the amazing Dr. Kerry Howell Prof Kerry Howell (not in use) and learn about Challenger 150, a UN Ocean Decade programme! 3pm eastern time June 4- register for zoom link here! #deepsea #biology #webinar cobra.bigelow.org/cobra-webinar-…

We are delighted to be working with Seabed 2030 to add the biology to their fantastic efforts to map the seafloor. Their work is vital to ours.


BAIT_CV has just finished its first field campaign in Santo Antão. Along with 81 dives we have exchanged knowledge between the different partners, but most importantly with the locals. Thank you all @CESAM_Univ Universidade Aveiro University of Plymouth NGO Biosfera Cabo Verde Uni-CV and UTA.

Two of our flagship #OceanDecade Programmes, Challenger 150 and Seabed 2030, have partnered to consolidate the physical and biological ocean data being identified and produced by the two initiatives – further advancing our understanding of the ocean. 👉 ow.ly/bbHP50SBhCk


Scientific foundations for the Challenger 150 Decade Programme were developed under SCOR WG 159 DeepSeaDecade. Learn what can accomplish as a SCOR working group at scor-int.org/work/groups/

🚢🌊LIVE STREAM FROM THE DEEP. Discover the #ChileMargin2024 🌊🚢 🗓️ 11 Oct – 5 Dec 2024 Off the coast of Chile, powerful geologic forces shape the seafloor, creating methane seeps & submarine canyons that may host rich, undiscovered ecosystems. @schmidtocean Challenger 150


For the last few days, Kerry Howell Prof Kerry Howell (not in use) has been in Hawaii attending the first #DOSISeamountScienceSummit where she presented the work of #Challenger150 and the importance of mapping seamounts.
