Genomics, Biodiversity, and Antarctica – three of my favourite things! For all you expedition junkies, these three things are exactly the focus of the 2013 “Ivy Inverts” cruise. My Gulf oil spill collaborator at Auburn University, Ken Halanych (along with an international team of students and colleagues), is currently steaming towards Antarctica aboard the Research . . . → Read More: “Icy Inverts” 2013 Cruise – Scientific Adventures in Antarctic Waters

The gist is we typically think of the different oceans having unique sets of deep-sea organisms. A Pacific set of animals, an Atlantic set, an Indian set and so on. But O’Hara and colleagues show instead that brittle stars are differentiated along broad . . . → Read More: Deep-Sea Creatures Play in the Same Band

The paleoceanography of the deep-sea is an account of intense fluctuations in temperature, oxygen, and circulation. In the past . . . → Read More: The Origins of Deep-Sea Fauna

Dr. Wallich, the pioneer of deep-sea research, eighteen years ago recognized the deep homothermal sea “As the great highway for animal migration, extending pole to pole” Below 500 fathoms it is everywhere dark and cold, and there are no ridges . . . → Read More: Biogeography of the Deep Sea
