"...The length of time in
which she weathers
her watch: a brooding.
Imagine her, perched,
pale and love-long,
in some dark shelf,
knowing she will
never meet what
she has made, and
making anyway..."

How little weโve seen: A visual coverage estimate of the deep seafloor
In decades of deep-sea exploration, humans have observed only 0.001% of the deep seafloor, leaving 66% of planet Earth unseen.
Fast-forward 4 years and a ton of research later, and my initial estimate remains the same--we've seen ~0.001% of the deep seafloor, an area approx the same as the size of Rhode Island.

Volcanic Eruption in Deep Ocean Ridge Is Witnessed by Scientists for First Time (Gift Article)
Researchers diving in a submersible in the eastern Pacific realized that the landscape they had studied the day before had been glassed over by fresh lava.
**BIG NEWS in the geology world!** For the first time, scientists spotted an active eruption along the mid-ocean ridge!!
They visited the hydrothermal vent the day before, where a vibrant ecosystem thrived in the sweltering water. The next day, everything was gone. โ๏ธ๐งช

"Luke McCartin is a postdoctoral research associate in Dr. Santiago Herreraโs lab at Lehigh University in Pennsylvania, United States. He uses molecular tools to study the distribution of life on the deep seafloor and its evolution. At the Deep-Sea Biology Symposium, Luke will be presenting research that uses environmental DNA (eDNA) sequencing to determine the diversity and distributions of deep corals.
Using submersibles like remotely operated vehicles (ROVs), Lukeโs work involves collecting samples of corals and the seawater around them from the deep-sea floor for analysis. He compares sequences of DNA from the coral specimens and the eDNA that they release into seawater in order to determine the biodiversity of deep corals in the area."

"Lukeโs research has been primarily focused on mesophotic and deep-sea coral communities in the northern Gulf of Mexico and the Caribbean Sea south of Puerto Rico. Mesophotic corals, like this large colony of the black coral Plumapathes pennacea occur at depths from approximately 50 to 200 meters where light attenuates". (Image)
"Deep-sea corals, like this colony of the octocoral Paramuricea from 530 meters depth, live in perpetual darkness" (Image).
Happy day 4 ofย #17DSBS!
Meet Luke McCartin, who studies #DeepSeaCoral diversity using #eDNA sequencing in the Gulf of Mexico & Caribbean. Lukeโs work involves using #ROVs to collect coral & seawater samples, analyzing DNA barcodes to reveal their #biodiversity and to understand coral distributions.
