Projects
Research projects that support our basic and applied deep-sea research
We conduct scientific exploration, research and education to advance the understanding of the structure, function, natural diversity, connectivity, and resilience of deep-sea ecosystems in a changing planet, while informing for a sustainable use of the ocean for current and future generations.
