DOSI Deep-Sea Round-Up
What do you think this blobby blue organism is? Scientists on NOAA Ocean Exploration’s Voyage to the Ridge 2022 Expedition speculated that it may be a soft coral, sponge, or tunicate– a wide range of possibilities! You can see more deep-sea images shared through DOSI on our Flickr Page. A guide for sharing your own images through our network can be found here.
This week, our Deep-Sea Round-Up starts with new papers on co-design for deep ocean data access, an analysis of the Atlantic Ocean landscape, and the power of ecological connectivity in international negotiations. Then we share the latest news on seabed mining, which focuses on the recent ISA approval of NORI’s collector test. Other news highlights include new EU protections for deep-sea ecosystems, disputes over marine genetic resources, and a coffinfish holding its breath.
Today’s Opportunities section features an annual highlight: the launch of the 2023 Nautilus Exploration Program, which has opened applications for paid internships. The University of Bergen’s SEAS program is also seeking to fill 23 postdoc positions, so make sure to take a look if you’re in the market. Finally, scroll to the end for a podcast episode featuring Dr. Rosa Leon-Zayas, an environmental microbiologist who shares her experience diving in the Alvin submersible.
